Research

Primary Health Care works in collaboration with a number of Academic Partners and supports the recruitment and training of research active health care professionals across all primary care disciplines through the Scholarships and Bursaries Scheme.

Much of our work takes place under four specific programmes or thematic areas please see details below:

  • Self-management & patient centred care - This programme focuses largely on the experience of individuals in their role as patient or carer, where they are in contact with health care professionals, services or policy, and the involvement of 'users' in service delivery and research. The programme is methodologically innovative, engaging with the complexity of health care, and understanding complex systems.
  • Emergency care & rehabilitation - This programme has two thematic areas: Service Delivery Organisation (SDO) and Clinical Effectiveness (CE).
  • Access & inequality - This programme has been shaped to respond to and influence NHS priorities for advanced access, including wider service options especially for patients with chronic conditions, ethnic minority groups and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with particular focus on mental health, child development and decision making.
  • Modernising Primary Care, Social Care & their interfaces - Particularly important areas of this programme have included the International Primary Care study, workforce modernisation, chronic disease, and studies of sexual health and of breastfeeding
