Primary care research priorities in Scotland after the coronavirus pandemic
People Involved
Project Description
The aim of this project is to reach a consensus for primary care research priorities in Scotland where uncertainties remain and set a research direction that will be relevant for patients, carers and generalist healthcare professionals in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.
This is the first comprehensive, patient-centred and generalist health professional project of research priorities in primary care since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. It is designed to strengthen future
evidence for primary care to improve health outcomes.
The objectives are to:
• work with patients, carers and clinicians to identify research priorities for primary care after
the coronavirus pandemic era where uncertainties remain,
• to agree by consensus a prioritised list of those uncertainties for research,
• to publicise the results and the process,
• to take the results to research commissioning bodies to be considered for funding.
This is a National collaborative project being carried out under auspices of the Scottish School of Primary Care ( http://www.sspc.ac.uk/ ). It is currently being carried out through collaborative means with shared workload and is funded through a grant supporting SSPC from Scottish Government. It should offer significant information on research priorities that will enable further research efforts targeted in primary care
