Primary care research: ends and means Introduction In the UK, research in primary care has become a priority for support within the National Health Service (NHS) and other funding agencies, such as the Medical Research Council (MRC). This has resulted in the creation of a range of interventions aimed at contributing to research activity, capacity and utilization in primary care. It is now timely to reflect on the appropriateness and effectiveness of these interventions and to consider, for the future, what are the desired outcomes (ends) of primary care research and how we can best achieve them (means). Primary care Primary care consists of a sector of the health service which provides first-contact care for patients. Typically, primary care has a number of dimensions, including those of personal care, continuity or longitudinality and comprehensiveness. 1 In general practice, this is reflected by the Stott and Davies' 2 model of the consultation, in which as well as dealing with the presenting complaint, on-going medical, psychological and social problems are addressed, health care-seeking behaviour examined and opportunities for prevention and health promotion taken. We should now add to these facets of primary care its important public health function, in which responsibility for individuals is extended to responsibility, planning and service provision for populations and communities. The medical geography of primary care includes general practice, primary care dentistry and optometry, accident and emergency departments, community-based services, such as family planning and well-person clinics, and direct-access, personal and telephone advice services such as NHS Direct and walk-in clinics at railway termini. This landscape is populated by GPs and primary health care teams, dentists, optometrists, and a range of professions allied to medicine, including physical therapists of various kinds, some hospital staff and medical professionals providing telephone advice supported by computerized decision systems. 3 The ends of primary care research The starting point of a consideration of the desired outputs … (Full Text of this Article) « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article Family Practice (2000) 17 (1): 1-4. doi: 10.1093/fampra/17.1.1 » Extract Free Full Text (HTML) Free Full Text (PDF) Free Classifications Editorial Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Similar articles in PubMed Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by Jones, R.
