Abstract Background Inappropriate antibiotic prescription for self-limiting respiratory tract infections (RTIs) by general practitioner (GP) registrars (trainees) is less common than established GPs but still exceeds evidence-based benchmarks. A 2014 face-to-face educational intervention and supervisors reduced registrars’ acute bronchitis 16% (absolute reduction). We aimed to establish the efficacy of an updated registrar/supervisor RTI-management (delivered at distance) on prescribing....
Little is known about how didactic online learning materials curated by general practice faculty influence medical student impressions of practice. Individual interviews and focus group discussions with third- fourth-year University Queensland students, who had completed their placements, explored engagement course materials, Overarching themes were determined constantly comparing theoretical memos original data descriptive codes. Student decisions whether to use based on perceptions...
Abstract Background Antibiotics provide minimal benefit for sore throat, otitis media, and sinusitis. Antibiotic stewardship, with reduced prescribing, is required to address antibiotic resistance. As most prescribing occurs in general practice habits develop early, practitioner (GP) trainees (registrars) are important effective stewardship. Objectives To establish temporal trends Australian registrars’ acute Design A longitudinal analysis of data from the Registrar Clinical Encounters...
Nonevidence-based and 'low-value' clinical care medical services are 'questionable' activities that more likely to cause harm than good or whose benefit is disproportionately low compared with their cost. This study sought establish general practitioner (GP), patient, practice, in-consultation associations of an index key nonevidence-based low-value practices. The was nested in the Registrar Clinical Encounters Training study-an ongoing (from 2010) cohort which Australian GP registrars...
Objectives Informational and management continuity of care assists in providing a seamless transition for women infants from tertiary or secondary to primary during the post partum period. Few studies have evaluated interaction between different aspects health system following woman's discharge hospital after birth her infant. The present study describes how general practitioners (GPs) experience communications with hospitals other providers relevant care. Methods In cross-sectional study,...
Imaging of the ocular vasculature can provide new insights into pathophysiology diseases. This study proposes a novel high-frequency super-resolution ultrasound localization microscopy (SRULM) technique and evaluates its ability to measure in vivo perfusion changes rat eye at elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). A 38.4 MHz center frequency linear array transducer on VisualSonics Vevo F2 imaging platform was used collect high frame rate (1 kHz) radiofrequency data posterior following systemic...
Many GPs undertake postpartum care for women and their infants. GP follow-up enables early identification management of problems, education support parenting, reconnection with general practice following the birth. However, there is little information about GPs’ understanding role in how it undertaken. This cross-sectional survey Southern Queensland, conducted between February July 2013, describes involvement care. were posted a 52-item questionnaire adapted from previous Victorian study...
Background Many clinical teachers who previously gave face-to-face lectures now record presentations for students to view asynchronously online. These need understand student expectations of online (OLLs), and their place in the overall ‘ecology’ learning resources, order ensure that watch, learn from, lectures. Methods We conducted focus groups with a convenience sample medical undertaking general practice placements, exploring uses, evaluations OLLs. Focus group discussions were recorded...
While there is a significant focus on the health and well-being of women during pregnancy, labour birth, much less emphasis placed care postpartum their infants in primary following birth. Some studies have investigated role GPs care, others examined facilitators barriers to mothers accessing care. However little information available investigate effect practice related factors access at this time.A 20-item questionnaire for completion by managers was mailed 497 general practices Southern...
Abstract Background Multisource feedback is an evidence-based and validated tool used to provide clinicians, including those in training, on their professional interpersonal skills. mandatory for participants the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Practice Experience Program some Training Registrars. Given recency Program, there are currently no benchmarks available comparison within program other comparable cohorts doctors program. The aim this study evaluate compare...
Cochrane reviews are difficult to construct and may be read, but they produce trusted, high-quality research responses common clinical questions.The objective of this article is help clinicians navigate the Library reviews. Using a scenario, we illustrate how find information required guide evidence-based decision making with patients.Clinicians looking for answers questions often turn first guidelines. However, these not provide enough background balance pros cons treatment. inform...
Abstract Introduction Feedback may play out in the general practice workplace less usefully than anticipated by educators. We investigated work‐based feedback conversations about directly observed student tasks embedded supervisor's clinical consultations with patients. Methods between GP teachers and medical students subsequent reflections were audio‐recorded. Student teacher focus groups also conducted transcribed professionally. An iterative, qualitative descriptive analysis integrating...

Abstract Purpose ‘Low-value’ clinical care and medical services are ‘questionable’ activities, being more likely to cause harm than good or with disproportionately low benefit relative cost. This study examined the predictive ability of QUestionable In Training Clinical Activities Index (QUIT-CAI) for general practice (GP) registrars’ (trainees’) performance in Australian GP Fellowship examinations (licensure/certification independent GP). Methods The was nested ReCEnT, an ongoing cohort...
Asthma self-management strategies remain core components of evidence-based asthma care. Despite this, only 14% Australian adults with have written action plans. We aimed to evaluate whether targeted SMS reminders attend an review could improve plan and spirometry completions for general practice patients who do not current plans.A randomised controlled trial comparing usual care was performed from May September, 2016, in a metropolitan South East Queensland.By the three-month follow-up, 35...
Relative to other countries, the number of students in US studying engineering is low. The numbers women electrical and mechanical have been persistently low relative majors. For several years we measuring aptitudes engineers as part a project better understand hands-on ability. We also examined connections between these academic performance indicators, spatial visualization ability, prior experiences, attitude. In fall 2010 administered same questionnaires instruments group non-engineering...
Abstract Comparison of Mechanical Aptitude and Prior Experiences for Male Female Engineering StudentsThe percentages women studying engineering are quite low relative to other previously male-dominated professions such as law medicine. The numbers mean there is alarge untapped resource future engineers. percentage mechanicalengineering at our university consistently less than 10%, nationally the hashovered near 14% in recent years (NSF, 2004). Could it be that a renewed emphasis on...
