Abstract:
Aims and background To compare the impact of different modalities of general practitioner (GP) involvement, including the introduction of target payments, on the attendance rate of organized population-based screening programs for breast cancer in Italy. Study design The study was conducted between 1994 and 1996 in four Italian cities where mammographic screening programs are active: Caltanissetta (CL), Firenze (Fl), Modena (MO) and Torino (TO). The impact on attendance rate of different invitation strategies based on active GP involvement was tested in each center. The additional effect of economic incentives was also assessed. The incentives were proportional to the level of compliance attained by each GP and weighted by the size of his eligible patients’ list. Results In the Firenze project, an invitation signed by the GP and the project co-ordinator attained a statistically significant higher participation (difference: 4.2%, χ2 = 7.42, P = 0.006). In Caltanissetta and Torino there was a significant increase of about 7% in the response rate to the postal reminder in the groups contacted by the GPs. No difference was observed in the Modena project between the two groups. Conclusions The main contributions of GP involvement can be: “cleaning up'’ the invitation lists, especially when computerized archives with the mammographic history of the target population are not available; increasing the women's participation by signing the invitation letter, by counseling and active participation in the invitation phase; co-operating in the reminder phase by recalling women non responders at first invitation. The offer of target payment had a certain impact on the screening uptake, but not easily distinguishable from GP signature of the invitation letter; further studies of appropriate design should be planned. Organizational factors, such as availability of a list of non-responders, might be crucial in order to enhance the effect of the GPs’ action.

Abstract:
People with spinal cord damage (SCD) report a high level of GP use. There is a dearth of research investigating factors that contribute to GP identification and retention for people with SCD. Furthermore, a GP satisfaction measure developed specifically for people with SCD is non-existent. This preliminary study sought to identify factors contributing to GP identification and retention. A total of 266 people with SCD primarily based in Queensland, Australia, completed a cross-sectional survey that aimed to fill these knowledge gaps. Descriptive statistics and correlational analyses clarified the factors contributing to GP identification and GP retention respectively. An exploratory factor analysis utilising the principal components analysis method clarified a set of items that could underpin key domains for a SCD-specific GP satisfaction measure. The findings confirm that knowledge about SCD, physically accessible services, and trust are seminal considerations aligned with GP identification and retention for people with SCD.

Abstract:
Background: Continuity of general practitioner (GP) care, widely known as the core value of high-quality patient care, has a positive association with health outcomes. Evidence about the relationship between continuity and health service utilisation has so far been lacking in China. This study aimed to analyse the association of continuity of GP care with utilisation of general practitioner and specialist services in China. Method: A cross-sectional mixed methods study was conducted in 10 urban communities in Hangzhou. Quantitative data were collected from a random sample of 624 residents adopting the self-developed questionnaire. Measurement of continuity of GP care included informational continuity (IC), managerial continuity (MC) and relational continuity (RC). With adjustment for characteristics of residents, multivariate regression models were established to examine the association of continuity of GP care with the intention to visit GP, frequency of GP and specialist visitations. Qualitative data were collected from 26 respondents using an in-depth interview, and thematic content analysis for qualitative data was conducted. Results: Quantitative analysis showed that the IC was positively associated with the intention to visit GP and frequency of GP visitations. Those people who gave a high rating for RC also used GP services more frequently than their counterparts. MC was negatively associated with frequency of specialist visitations. Qualitative analysis indicated that service capabilities, doctor–patient interaction and time provision were regarded as three important reasons why patients chose GPs or specialists. Conclusions: Overall, high IC and RC are independently associated with more GP service utilisation, but a high MC might reduce specialist visitations. Continuity of GP care should be highlighted in designing a Chinese GP system.

Abstract:
Recruitment is an ongoing challenge in the health industry with general practitioner (GP) shortages in many areas beyond rural and Indigenous communities. This paper suggests a marketing solution that identifies different segments of the GP market for recruitment strategy development. In February 2008, 96 GPs in Australia responded to a mail questionnaire (of which 85 questionnaires were useable). A total of 350 GPs were sent the questionnaire. Respondents considered small sets of attributes in the decision to accept a new job at a general practice and selected the most and least important attribute from each set. We identified latent class clusters (cohorts) of GPs from the most–least important data. Three cohorts were found in the GP market, distinguishing practitioners who emphasised job, family or practice attributes in their decision to join a practice. Few significant demographic differences exist between the cohorts. A segmented GP market suggests two alternative recruitment strategies. One option is for general practices to target members of a single cohort (family-, job-, or practice-focussed GPs). The other option is for general practices to diversify their recruitment strategies to target all three cohorts (family-, job- and practice-focussed GPs). A single brand (practice) can have multiple advertising strategies with each strategy involving advertising activities targeting a particular consumer segment. What is known about the topic? Recruitment is an ongoing challenge in the health industry. A wide range of government strategies and incentives have sought to increase GP numbers in areas of need, especially rural and Indigenous communities. However, declining GP to patient ratios in such sectors suggest new recruitment strategies are needed. To know how effective new strategies might be, it would also be useful to know whether practices have already adopted such strategies in their recruitment advertising. What does this paper add? This paper reports results from an empirical study showing that the overall GP market can be segmented into cohorts of GPs who similarly value attributes of a GP position. The research finds three discrete cohorts in the GP market: practitioners who have job, family or practice dominant preferences. This finding can be used to improve GP recruitment by designing recruitment strategies targeting the cohorts. The study also demonstrates that rural (and urban) practices have, either intentionally or unintentionally, been attracting only one of the three GP cohorts. What are the implications for practitioners? A segmented GP market suggests two alternative strategies. One option is for general practices to design recruiting strategies that target members of a single cohort (family-, job-, or practice-focussed GPs). The other option suggested by our research is for general practices to diversify their recruitment strategies to target all three cohorts (family-, job- and practice-focussed GPs).

Full text
Abstract:
To date, access to appropriate and timely GP services for those in aged care has been described as limited, in part due to inadequate models of care and remuneration. As the Australian population ages and more Australians become dependent on aged-care services, the need for good quality medical care that meets the needs of residents will continue to grow. The purpose of this study was to provide a current analysis of trends in GP services in residents in Australian aged-care facilities. Longitudinal population data (2005–2014) was used to describe the changing population demographics and calculate annual rates for GP services specific to this population. Total population and age-group strata (<85 years and 85+ years) rates were calculated for standard consultations, after-hours consultations, contribution to a care plan and collaborative medication review. For the period 2005–2014 there was an increase of 1.5 million GP services to this population, which had simultaneously grown by 19800 residents, aged (6% increase in residents aged 85+ years) and become more dependent (14% increase is high-care residents). Significant increases in all GP service rates were observed, with a shift towards after-hours consultations. Residents aged <85 years received significantly more services than residents aged 85+ years. GP service delivery to the whole aged-care population continues to be heavily weighted towards standard and after-hours consultations, while collaborative GP services remain a very small proportion of services accessed by this population. There is scope to increase collaborative GP services, which have been linked to improved outcomes for this population.

Abstract:
Australia is undergoing significant primary health care policy reforms in response to concerns about quality of care, increasing burden of complex and chronic diseases, and workforce shortages. Governments are encouraging multidisciplinary teamwork between general practitioners (GP) and other primary health care service providers. Essential elements of teamwork have been addressed in policy initiatives, yet important dimensions of the way GP develop and use their work-related relationships in their practice remain unrecognised. This paper draws upon a doctoral thesis that explored the types and the qualities of GP work-related relationships. A qualitative research methodology combined with a relational perspective was used. Data were collected from a pilot, main and a validation study. Fifty interviews were conducted, including: GP, clinic staff, service providers, support organisation personnel and policymakers. A complex web of interdependent work-related relationships exist between GP and other health care providers. Four main types of GP work-related relationships emerged: clinical problem solving, obtaining metaknowledge, obtaining legitimisation, and validation. Key qualities of GP work-related relationships included the nominated providers’ competence, accessibility, goodwill, honesty, consistency and communication styles. A validation study verified research findings. The research provides evidence that the nature of GP work-related relationships have implications for other practitioners who need to work with GP. The findings challenge the current primary health care policy emphasis on using structural reforms such as prescribed service delivery processes and financial incentives to encourage teamwork.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Internationally, a number of studies have investigated general practitioner (GP) opinion of weight management interventions. To date there have been no similar studies carried out in New Zealand. This study aimed to explore GP opinion of weight management interventions in one region of New Zealand. Understanding GP opinion is important, as rates of obesity are increasing and GPs are front-line health care service providers. The data collected could be used to guide health service development in New Zealand, and to inform training and support of GPs in obesity management. METHODS: A qualitative study using inductive thematic analysis of a series of 12 semi-structured interviews with GPs in the Wellington region of New Zealand. FINDINGS: Five key themes were identified: 1) GP perceptions of what the GP can do; 2) the roots of the obesity problem; 3) why the GP doesn’t succeed; 4) current primary care interventions; and 5) bariatric surgery. CONCLUSION: The GPs interviewed felt responsible for treatment of obesity in their patients. They expressed a sense of disempowerment regarding their ability to carry this out, identifying multiple barriers. These included: a society where overweight is seen as normal; complex situations in which weight management is rooted in personal issues; stigma associated with overweight and its management; lack of efficacious interventions; and low resource availability. Bariatric surgery was viewed cautiously in general, though some examples of positive results were reported, as well as a desire for increased access to this treatment option.

Abstract:
Introduction: General practitioners (GPs) strive to use a patient centred approach to achieve shared decision making by integrating clinical evidence, clinical judgement, and patient priorities. This protocol outlines a scoping review to identify what evidence-based guidance is produced by general practitioner professional organisations internationally to support general practice clinical decision making. Methods: This scoping review will be conducted using the framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR), will be used to guide the reporting. Two researchers will search electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and Scopus), grey literature sources and contact international GP professional organisations directly to identify appropriate studies for inclusion. Key information will be categorised and classified to generate a summary of the methods used internationally to develop and implement evidence-based guides for general practitioners and a narrative synthesis will be conducted. Conclusions: This scoping review will identify the role of GP professional organisations in generating, endorsing and/or disseminating evidence-based guidance for supporting general practitioner’s clinical decision making to benefit patient care.

Abstract:
Abstract Background General practitioner (GP) consultation has long been considered an important component of general practice, but few studies have focused on its characteristics in China. Objective This study aimed to explore the content and elucidate the characteristics of GP consultations in general practice in China. Methods A multimethod investigation of GP consultations in eight community health centres in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China was conducted between July 2018 and January 2019. Data from 445 GP consultations were collected by direct observation and audio tape and analysed by a modified Davis Observation Code with indicators for frequencies and detailed time durations. GP and patient characteristics were collected by post-visit surveys. Results The mean visit duration was approximately 5.4 minutes. GPs spent the most time on treatment planning, history taking, negotiating, notetaking and physical examination and less time on health promotion, family information collecting, discussing substance use, procedures and counselling. The time spent on procedures ranked first (66 seconds), followed by history taking (65 seconds) and treatment planning (63 seconds). Besides, patients were very active in the consultation, specifically for topics related to medicine ordering and drug costs. Conclusions This study described the profile of GP consultations and illustrated the complexity of care provided by GPs in China. As patient activation in GP consultations becomes increasingly important, future studies need to explore how to promote the engagement of patients in the whole consultation process other than just requesting for medicine.

Abstract:
The role of nurses in general practice: General Practitioners' and Practice Nurses' perceptions is a study that identifies the beliefs of Practice Nurses (PNs) and General Practitioners (GPs) of the PN role and how those roles impact on the general practice. Ethnographic techniquess were used for this study, with data collected through interviews, observation and questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with four PNs and four GPs in practices that employed nurses in an increased role similar to that described in the Nursing in General Practice Fact Sheets (Royal College of Nursing Australia, 2002). Two practices were observed to identify work practices and the nurses' interaction within the practice. The main finding of the study was the importance placed on the general practice team. Both GPs and PNs believed that working as a team was vital. They indicated that working together provided holistic care and enabled the practice to provide quality care. The role of the PN in this study was consistent with other studies in Australia. However, the nurses in this study appeared to have more autonomy in regard to care of people with chronic illness and the aged. Continuing education was considered important for the further development of the PN role. However, participants believed that the PN also needed to have considerable and varied experience together with good people skills. To further develop the PN role innovative ways of providing education to PNs should be investigated to ensure nurses have the necessary skills to undertake their role. Payment issues in general practice should also be examined and addressed to ensure that PNs are able to be employed, and receive remuneration appropriate for their experience and job description.

Abstract:
The overall aim of the thesis is to explore the determinants of General Practitioner (GP) referrals to specialist mental health services, in particular psychological therapy. Paper 1 is intended to contribute to this literature by providing a systematic review of GP and organisational factors identified as impacting on referral in previous research. According to this literature, referral to a mental health specialist was more likely if the GP does not feel that they have the 'capacity to help' and perceives 'time constraints' on how long they can spend with the patient. Referral also appeared more likely if the GP felt they had acceptable 'access to services' and if they had a close 'consultation/liaison' relationship with specialists. The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed, and gaps in the current literature identified for further research. Paper 2 describes an empirical study aimed at exploring the determinants of GP referral for psychological interventions within Primary Care Mental Health Services (PCMHS). 132 GPs completed questionnaires, including demographic information, attitudes towards mental health and its treatment and responses to short fictional case vignettes indicating their likelihood of referral to the PCMHS. Qualitative results suggested that GPs consider a range of factors in their referral decisions, including patient preference, severity of the problem, access to services and the effectiveness of the service. Alternative options considered included signposting to other services, reviewing, medication and providing advice and support. Quantitative results suggested that younger GPs reported a higher likelihood of referral, and were more likely to refer in line with guidelines. Psychological factors were not associated with referral likelihood or referral in agreement with guidelines. In line with previous research on clinician behaviour, findings of papers 1 and 2 are considered primarily in the context of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and the utility of this model in predicting referral behaviour is evaluated throughout. A greater understanding of predictors of referral is thought to be valuable in designing clinician and service level interventions to improve the proportion of those in need who are able to access psychological therapy. Paper 3 provides a critical evaluation of the research process as a whole, including the processes involved in the literature review and empirical study. The strengths and weaknesses of both of these elements are discussed, along with an evaluation of the overall approach taken throughout the thesis. The findings of both studies are integrated and discussed in the context of current policy and proposed changes to healthcare provision. Implications for theory, clinical practice and further research are discussed.

This study explores GP tutor views of a nationally derived list of quality criteria for undergraduate and postgraduate practice-based teaching. Whilst these published criteria provided a means of benchmarking locally, an evaluation of utility in practice required further exploration. This educational evaluation was conducted within a West Yorkshire locality as a means of supporting their practice-based primary care education. A survey approach using an online Likert scaled questionnaire was distributed to all GP tutors with an additional opportunity for free text qualitative comments. Data were analysed using an online reporting package for survey results (MarketSight) and thematic analysis of qualitative data. Key findings were that in general all the criteria were rated having a high level of importance with 83% of GPs claiming they would find such a list important in directing their learning and teaching approach. The opinions on out-of-hours experiences for medical students were also interesting as they differed greatly. These findings will be of interest to those involved in the organisation and delivery of medical education within primary care as the list of criteria could act as a structural guide for directing medical student teaching, learning and its quality assurance. Implications for further research include the utility of core criteria and the exploration of out-of-hours experience for medical student education.

Abstract:
Within the United Kingdom, the general practitioner (GP) will manage the care of the majority of patients with life-limiting and terminal disease. The need for effective communication is recognized in the general practice curriculum and college examinations. The opportunity to review and critique one’s own communication skills allows considerable opportunity for self-directed learning and reflection. The development of a reflective portfolio of learning has been developed as a user-friendly and cost-effective way for the general practitioner to commit to lifelong learning in the context of communicating with palliative care patients. This chapter describes several models that can help deliver an evidence-based template of training, supported by a simple toolkit with which to empower GPs to enhance their communication skills throughout their professional careers.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the three most widely used remuneration systems for general practitioners (GPs): fee-for-service, capitation, and salary. Each system has its pros and cons, so in practice some sort of blended system would often be chosen. A concern with the fee-for-service system is that it might make doctors provide too many services, that is, supplier-induced demand. Capitation breaks the link between payment and amount of services provided by giving the GP a fixed fee for each patient registered on the list. This system may lead GPs to selectively attract healthy patients and make unnecessary referrals to specialists. A salary system does not include an incentive mechanism, and is therefore assumed to involve lower productivity. After a comparison of the three payment systems, the chapter suggests a typology of GPs’ motivations along two dimensions: financial versus non-financial rewards, and selfish versus altruistic.

Abstract:
The author’s heart attack in his early 40s, when working as a rural general practitioner (GP) in the National Health Service (NHS). The author’s career journey: from his medical school training, working as a rural GP for the NHS, his transition to specialist training, and work as an occupational physician. The experience of doctors as patients: first from the author’s personal perspective, but also the tricky matter of treating a fellow doctor. The implications of doctors as patients. The problem of middle-aged men as patients: poor health-seeking behaviour and poor compliance. Sudden death in a patient. The author’s new focus on health and prevention, not disease and treatment. Paternalism in the doctor–patient relationship. Patients or clients? The autocratic doctor, and the concept of patient-centred care. What do patients want from their doctors? The concept of working in partnership with patients.

Abstract:
This critical review sketches the principles of collaborative care models in general practice for treatment of common mental disorders, such as depressive, anxiety, or somatoform disorders. Such disorders may not be self-limiting and have a tendency to become chronic, and their treatment in the general-practice setting demands a change in organization of general practice according to a chronic care model, i.e. collaborative care. In collaborative care, at least two of the following three professionals work together to alleviate the mental health burden of the patient: the general practitioner (GP), the nurse care-manager (CM), and the consultant psychiatrist (CL). The model is commonly effective but it is also more expensive. The implementation of collaborative care depends on the availability of CMs and CLs, guidelines for psychiatric consultation, reimbursement, and adequate web-based decision aids for the professionals. Its structural implementation in general practice requires a sustained effort at national level.

Abstract:
The newborn baby check is often the first encounter a General Practitioner (GP) has with an infant and their family. It is an excellent opportunity to review the journey the family has taken antenatally, at the time of delivery and the weeks that have followed. It is also a time to detect and identify conditions that can be managed in their early stages. If untreated, some conditions can result in major morbidity. In this chapter we will look at what makes up a newborn baby check and important considerations to think about when undertaking this assessment. The examination is also performed in a systematic way to maximise the chance of detecting any abnormalities.

Abstract:
Usually, before a patient with cancer can be treated in a hospital, a general practitioner (GP) must suspect the diagnosis and refer the patient. GPs often worry that they could have done better for some of their cancer patients. Had there been an unreasonable delay of diagnosis? In the arctic, rural/urban city of Tromsø, this question became the subject of several scientific articles. Symptoms was an evident gateway to thinking about cancer in patients. In later years, there has been an explosion of good research studies about early diagnosis both in primary and secondary care. Through a northern gaze, the reader will be guided through a journey covering forty years of primary care-based research aiming at earlier diagnosis of cancer. Summing up, suggestions are given for: How to react upon signals from the body? And for the GP: 1. Explain unusual symptoms. 2. Add results from clinical findings and testing to symptoms. 3. Refer when the probability based on symptoms and findings exceed 3%. 4. Consider ‘fast track’ when you seriously suspect cancer. 5. Think of early diagnosis of cancer as an important, challenging and interesting part of your effort to serve the patients who consult you!
