Relationship between research activity and the performance of English general practices – New paper published
Date: 22 November 2024
There is developing evidence that undertaking research activity itself may improve the performance of healthcare organisations. However, the bulk of the evidence relates to hospital research, and it is less clear if these relationships represent a causal impact of research activity. This study published in the British Journal of General Practice showed that research activity in general practice is associated with a range of measures of practice performance. Research activity is a useful marker of high-performing general practices, but there is less evidence that research is causing improvements, possibly reflecting the limited levels of research activity in most practices.
