Acceptability of magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer diagnosis with patients and GPs: a qualitative interview study
CONCLUSION: Prostate MRI appears to be acceptable to patients. Some differences were found between patients in London and Devon, mainly around burden of testing and opportunity costs. Further exploration of GPs' knowledge and understanding of prostate MRI could inform future initiatives to widen access to diagnostic testing in primary care.PMID:38575181 | PMC:PMC11005921 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0083 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Improving access to general practice for and with people with severe and multiple disadvantage: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: The co-designed strategies described in this study could be adapted locally and evaluated in other areas. Investing in this focused way of working may improve accessibility to health care, health equity, and staff wellbeing.PMID:38575183 | PMC:PMC11005924 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0244 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Supporting healthcare professionals to address child weight with parents: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: A range of barriers exist to HCPs addressing child excess weight with parents in primary care and community settings. Actions to effect structural changes and support HCPs in developing relevant knowledge and skills are required to overcome these barriers.PMID:38575182 | PMC:PMC11005922 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0238 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

Private equity investment in health care delivery, Australia, 2008-2022
CONCLUSIONS: The number of private equity acquisitions of Australian health care delivery assets increased during 2008-2022. Doctors should be aware of the motivations and dynamics of private equity companies, as they are increasingly likely to interact with these firms and assets owned by these firms.PMID:38566454 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52270 (Source: Medical Journal of Australia)
