A strong and self confident primary care workforce can deliver the highest quality care and outcomes equitably and cost effectively. To meet the increasing demands being made of it, primary care needs its own thriving research culture and knowledge base.
Review of recent developments supporting primary care clinical research.
Primary care research has benefited from a small group of passionate leaders and significant investment in recent decades in some countries. Emerging from this has been innovation in research design and focus, although less is known of the effect on research output.
Primary care research is now well placed to lead a broad re-vitalisation of academic medicine, answering questions of relevance to practitioners, patients, communities and Government. Key areas for future primary care research leaders to focus on include exposing undergraduates early to primary care research, integrating this early exposure with doctoral and postdoctoral research career support, further expanding cross disciplinary approaches, and developing useful measures of output for future primary care research investment.
一支强大且自信的基层医疗服务队伍能够公平且经济高效地提供最高质量的医疗服务及成果。为满足对其日益增长的需求，基层医疗需要自身蓬勃发展的研究文化和知识基础。
回顾近期支持基层医疗临床研究的进展。
基层医疗研究受益于一小群充满热情的领导者以及近几十年来一些国家的大量投资。由此产生了研究设计和重点方面的创新，尽管对其对研究产出的影响了解较少。
基层医疗研究目前处于有利地位，可引领学术医学的广泛复兴，回答与从业者、患者、社区和政府相关的问题。未来基层医疗研究领导者应关注的关键领域包括让本科生尽早接触基层医疗研究，将这种早期接触与博士和博士后研究职业支持相结合，进一步扩大跨学科方法，以及为未来基层医疗研究投资制定有用的产出衡量标准。
