Practice-based small group learning (PBSGL) has grown in primary healthcare in Scotland, and is used regularly by 2244 GPs and GP specialist trainees. The programme has been available to general practice nurses (GPNs) and pharmacy staff since uni-professional and inter-professional pilot studies were considered successful. Growth has been slower compared to GPs uptake but has now reached significant levels. It seemed timely to evaluate the use of the programme by these professions.
A questionnaire previously used by GPs was adapted. It consisted of 16 questions and two free text questions asking respondents what had motivated them to join PBSGL, and what encouraged them to maintain membership. The questionnaire was converted into an electronic format and emailed to pharmacy and GPNs in Scotland who were PBSGL members.
A range of pharmacy staff and GPNs were involved in PBSGL and the mean number of modules studied by pharmacy staff was 3.93 and 4.48 by GPNs in the last year. A high percentage were likely or very likely to continue with membership (pharmacy staff - 95.6%, GPNs - 90.1%). The dominant reasons to join and stay in the programme related to learning issues: meeting learning needs, learning from peers and professional socialisation.
基于实践的小组学习（PBSGL）在苏格兰的初级医疗保健领域不断发展，2244名全科医生（GP）和GP专科培训学员经常使用该项目。自单专业和跨专业试点研究取得成功以来，该项目已面向全科护士（GPN）和药房工作人员开放。与GP的采用率相比，其增长速度较慢，但目前已达到显著水平。对这些专业人员使用该项目进行评估似乎恰逢其时。
对GP之前使用的一份问卷进行了改编。它由16个问题和两个自由文本问题组成，询问受访者促使他们加入PBSGL的动机以及促使他们维持会员身份的因素。问卷被转换成电子格式，并通过电子邮件发送给苏格兰作为PBSGL成员的药房工作人员和GPN。
一系列药房工作人员和GPN参与了PBSGL，去年药房工作人员学习的模块平均数量为3.93个，GPN为4.48个。很大比例的人可能或非常可能继续保持会员身份（药房工作人员 - 95.6%，GPN - 90.1%）。加入并留在该项目的主要原因与学习问题相关：满足学习需求、向同行学习和职业社交。
