BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way general practice teams interact with patients. This protocol article describes the rationale and design of an exploration of the experiences and perceptions of patient-centred care (PCC) by high-functioning general practice teams in Australia.METHOD: A qualitative descriptive approach and collective case study method will be used. Potential participants are individuals representing a high-functioning general practice team, who will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview. Eligible general practice clinics have received a 'Practice of the Year' award or commendation from The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners or Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited. Interview data will be analysed thematically, with constant comparison and meta-synthesis.DISCUSSION: Collective case study research is valuable because it enables rich exploration of PCC within the context of the pandemic. Rapid research on PCC may highlight new approaches towards the delivery of PCC.</p
