The importance of research and teaching in primary care.

Talking General Practice speaks to GP and co-chair of the Society of Academic Primary Care Dr Duncan Shrewsbury about the role academia has to play in primary care - both in terms of teaching and research.

In this episode, Duncan explains why we need more research in primary care, how practices can get more in research or start smaller-scale research projects in their own practice, as well as some of the issues around sharing data from the GP patient records for large-scale research projects.

They also explain how changes to the way undergraduates are taught is starting to shift the perception of general practice among medical students and other branches of medicine and offer advice to GPs on how to develop a career in research or teaching.
