Area of research interest, expertise or opportunities for academic post projects: In our department, we conduct qualitative and quantitative research in general practice, including randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cohort and observational studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Our focus lies in chronic disease management, quality use of medicines, infectious disease management and surveillance, prevention and quality of life with an emphasis on clinical and health services research.
We have access to a large MedicineInsight database of general practice medical records and we’ve published over 25 papers related to aspects of care. Our registrars utilise this resource to produce publishable results. We also have an interest in medical education research and support the registrar’s research interests.
Teaching opportunities: We engage in case-based learning and clinical tutoring from years one to three, teaching resource development for placements in years three to six, student seminars in year five and OSCE and multiple-choice question writing (MCQ) and experience in years four and five.
