The growing importance of the development of primary health care services necessitates role development for the allied health professions, including nursing and radiography. In order to prepare the future professionals to take on the challenges brought about by these role developments, educational institutions had to include lectures on the principles involved in primary health care delivery in the undergraduate curricula of these educational programmes. This was done at the University of Malta as an educational experiment, and the students were asked to complete a questionnaire about their experiences of pursuing this module on an interdisciplinary basis. The most important finding was the fact that the majority of respondents indicated that they found the theoretical material applicable to professional practice. It also enabled them to work towards developing their own roles within a primary health care clinical setting. The researchers can therefore suggest that primary health care should be included in the curricula of the other health care professions.
初级卫生保健服务发展的重要性日益凸显，这使得包括护理和放射学在内的 allied health professions 必须进行角色发展。为了让未来的专业人员能够应对这些角色发展带来的挑战，教育机构必须在这些教育项目的本科课程中纳入有关初级卫生保健提供所涉及原则的讲座。这在马耳他大学作为一项教育实验进行，并且要求学生完成一份关于他们跨学科学习该模块经历的问卷。最重要的发现是，大多数受访者表示他们发现理论材料适用于专业实践。这也使他们能够努力在初级卫生保健临床环境中发展自己的角色。因此，研究人员可以建议其他卫生保健专业的课程也应纳入初级卫生保健内容。
