Research in General Practice Book

This book focuses on research in general practice. When the first edition was written, GP research was in its infancy. This second edition is a complete rewrite of the first with the inclusion of new research examples, up-to-date references and new topical material. Starting from the earliest stage in the research process, that of recognizing opportunities for useful research, successive chapters proceed through the various stages of planning, carrying out and analyzing the results of different types of investigation. Based on the belief that no research is complete until the findings have been made public, chapters are included on how to present results through the written and spoken word. The book provides specific help for any general practitioners interested in developing research projects of their own, wanting trainees to do research, or simply seeking an improved understanding of how to examine and criticise the work of others. This book should be of interest to practising and trainee general practitioners.Read More
