Community antibiotic prescribing in patients with COVID-19 across three pandemic waves: a population-based study in Scotland, UK
Conclusion
Community antibiotic prescriptions in COVID-19 episodes were uncommon in this population and likelihood was associated with patient factors. The reduction over pandemic waves may represent increased knowledge regarding COVID-19 treatment and/or evolving symptomatology. (Source: BMJ Open)

Are children living with obesity more likely to experience musculoskeletal symptoms during childhood? A linked longitudinal cohort study using primary care records
Conclusions
Girls living with obesity at the start or end of primary school are more likely to attend their GP for a musculoskeletal consultation. Routine linkage of NCMP data to EHRs provides useful insights into childhood health conditions related to excess weight in early childhood. Recognition of obesity as a contributing factor for musculoskeletal symptoms may inform clinical management, particularly in girls. (Source: Archives of Disease in Childhood)

Asking the generalist - evaluation of a General Practice rounding and consult service

Development of a person-centred care approach for persons with chronic multimorbidity in general practice by means of participatory action research
CONCLUSIONS: A person-centred chronic care approach targeting patients with multimorbidity in general practice was developed and piloted in co-creation with stakeholders. More consultation time facilitated better understanding of persons' situations, their functioning, priorities and dilemma's, and positively impacted work satisfaction of care providers. Challenges need to be tackled before widespread implementation. Future evaluation on the quadruple aims is recommended.PMID:38627610 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02364-x (Source: Primary Care)

The transition of general practice into an academic discipline: tracing the origins through the first four professors in general practice/family medicine
Scand J Prim Health Care. 2024 Apr 16:1-10. doi: 10.1080/02813432.2024.2335537. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBeing the 'mother' of most clinical specialties, general practice is as old as medicine itself. However, as a recognized academic discipline within medical schools, general practice has a relatively short life span. A decisive step forward was taken in 1956 when the University of Edinburgh established its Department of General Practice, and appointed the world's inaugural professor in the field in 1963. During the 1960s, the pioneering move in Edinburgh was followed by universities in the Netherlands (University of...

Using the Tasmanian Palliative and End of Life Care Policy Framework (2022) to assess service delivery in a rural general practice
CONCLUSION: Existing frameworks can be used as an implementation and evaluation guide to help understand local palliative care services. Using a Framework, a rural general practice in Tasmania reflected on their provision of palliative care services. Providing holistic palliative care services from a rural general practice is desirable and achievable with a coordinated, team-based approach. Access to and integration with specialist services remains a key component of community-based palliative care pathways.PMID:38624133 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13126 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

Identifying carers in general practice (STATUS QUO): a multicentre, cross-sectional study in England
Conclusions
Many more participants self-identified as a carer than were recorded on participating GP lists. Improvements in the recording of the population’s caring status need to be actioned, to ensure that supportive implementation strategies for carers are effectively received. Using automated check-in facilities for research continues to provide high participation rates. (Source: BMJ Open)

Effectiveness of tailored talks between a cancer screening specialist and general practitioners to improve the uptake of colorectal cancer screening in Ancona (Italy) during the pandemic period
CONCLUSION: Persons cared for by GPs who received a tailored talk with a cancer screening specialist avoided a drop in CRC screening adherence, which characterised all other Italian screening programmes during the COVID-19 emergency. If future randomised trials confirm the impact of tailored talks, they may be incorporated into existing strategies to improve population CRC screening uptake.PMID:38618885 | DOI:10.1080/13814788.2024.2340672 (Source: European Journal of General Practice)
