About this title

Synopsis

Primary care is a rapidly growing academic branch of learning and developing its own body of research is the hallmark of a maturing academic discipline. This practical guide is the first designed specifically to support those planning, conducting and disseminating primary care educational research. While research informs clinical practice, organisation of primary care services and teaching the discipline, educational practices and modes of delivery are rapidly changing, particularly in response to new information technologies. Primary care practitioners must be engaged in life-long learning and keep abreast of developments in many arenas and educational research into how to address this has thus become of paramount importance.

Key Features:

The first ‘how-to’ guide to designing, conducting and disseminating primary care educational research

Focus on inter-professional education, co-design and participatory research approaches, in line with current primary care models of care involving inter-disciplinary teams

Wide in scope, exploring the current research environment in the contexts of undergraduate teaching, postgraduate training, continuing professional development, and patient education, for academics and educationalists at all levels

Step-by-step introduction to the processes of literature review (establishing the existing knowledge base), choosing a topic, research questions and methodology, conducting research and disseminating results

Supported by the WONCA Working Parties on Research and Education

This book will encourage and upskill academics at universities and institutions teaching primary care in both undergraduate and postgraduate settings, providing support and guidance on how to conduct their own research and evaluate their own programmes, and will help to grow academic research in this discipline in high and, importantly, also low- and middle-income countries.

Awards for an outstanding contribution to medical education include the United Kingdom (UK) Royal College of General Practitioners William Pickles and President’s International Medals, the UK Association for the Study of Medical Education Gold Medal and, in the 2015 UK New Year’s Honours, an OBE.

Felicity Goodyear-Smith is a general practitioner and professor of general practice and primary health care at the University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. In collaboration with Prof Bob Mash, she co-edited the two companion books to this current title: International Perspectives in Primary Care Research, CRC Press, 2016 and How To Do Primary Care Research, CRC Press, 2019. She is Chair of the WONCA Working Party on Research, and all three of these books have been written on behalf of WONCA. Felicity was the founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Primary Health Care. As well as a number of books and book chapters, she has published over 270 peer-reviewed papers, including 18 on various aspects of primary care educational research.

Felicity is passionate about the importance of research underpinning teaching and learning in primary care, to provide a solid evidence base for our educational interventions and innovations. Educational research can also serve to build the research skills of early career academics, who may have been employed to teach, but who have few research skills, enabling clinical teachers to upskill in research methodology, and be co-authors of peer-reviewed publications.
