PCRTA serendipitous carrot masquerading as stick?

[摘要] High quality primary care research is undertaken in the practice setting, and the RCGP's Research Group wishes to promote and encourage this. It evolved from the RCGP Research General Practice Awards. These were developed to demonstrate the need to make research infrastructure funding available to research-active practices to support the high quality research within practice settings. The funding was limited and demand high. Recognising the shortage of these awards a number of practices urged the Research Group to consider developing accreditation for research-active practices. With the support of the Department of Health and many other key primary care R&D stakeholders, Primary Care Research Team Assessment (PCRTA) was developed to meet this need.
