The inclusion of a separate chapter about general practice research is welcome. It is a naturalconsequence of the recognition that the development of an evidence-based approach to generalpractice requires investment in a research base that is focused primarily on general practice. Thisis also recognised by substantial Australian Government funding for GP research and increasedperformance of GP researchers in both mainstream funding bids and publication. However, theseare early days and general practice research, with its unique mix of science and social sciencemethodologies, remains less well recognised than research based in other medical disciplines.In the two previous editions, the subject of research was embedded in chapters about educationand training of GPs. For research to take its place as a core element of general practice is a stepforward. The present chapter sketches the current status of general practice research in Australiaand includes suggestions for enhancing it
