Research capacity building in general practice

Tom Brett, MA MD, MRCGP, is Associate Professor and Director, Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development Program, College of Medicine, University of Notre Dame Australia, and a general practitioner, Western Australia.

Rachel Sherrard, BSc, MB ChB, PhD, is Senior Lecturer, College of Medicine, University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle, Western Australia.

Adrian Bower, MB, ChB, PhD, is Bevis Smith Professor of Medicine and Dean, School of Medicine, University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle, Western Australia.

One of the great disappointments of primary care medicine has been the failure to develop a strong research tradition among general practitioners. This has happened despite the great legacy left by William Budd, James MacKenzie, and Will Pickles, and the clear acceptance that such research is necessary to improve patient care.
