The UK Society for Academic Primary Care (SAPC) is re-examining the sustainability of careers in academic primary care (APC). The motivation for this is a number of significant changes within the context of APC since the last such investigation (SAPC, 2003). It is now timely to review the current situation.
As a first phase, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 15 SAPC members from different disciplines and career stages.
Findings show that lack of clarity about APC career pathways persist, but important factors linked with sustainability were identified at individual and organisational levels. These include being proactive, developing resilience, mentorship and a positive organisational culture with a strong shared vision about why APC is important. FURTHER RESEARCH: Sustainability is undermined by funding difficulties, lack of integration of members of different APC disciplines, leading to disparities in career progression and lack of clarity about what APC is. Phase 2 will comprise a UK-wide survey.
英国学术初级保健协会(SAPC)正在重新审视学术初级保健(APC)职业的可持续性。这样做的动机是自上次此类调查(SAPC,2003年)以来,APC背景下发生了一些重大变化。现在是审查当前情况的适当时机。
作为第一阶段,对来自不同学科和职业阶段的15名SAPC成员进行了半结构化访谈。
研究结果表明,APC职业途径仍缺乏明确性,但在个人和组织层面确定了与可持续性相关的重要因素。这些因素包括积极主动、培养适应能力、指导以及具有积极的组织文化,对APC为何重要有强烈的共同愿景。进一步研究:资金困难、不同APC学科成员缺乏整合导致职业发展差异以及对APC是什么缺乏明确性,这些都削弱了可持续性。第二阶段将包括一项全英国范围的调查。
