Background: Primary care is no longer relying solely on specialty research but finds it evidence base increasingly in primary care research. Primary care research is thriving, providing the best knowledge to practice. Strengthening primary care research leadership is critical to undertake challenging high quality research. Which issues do researchers face to achieve their goal to take this leadership role?
Target audience: Primary care researchers at all levels of the organization in universities or other research institutes.
Didactic method: Short presentations by members of the Oxford International Primary Care Leadership Programme, followed by a moderated, interactive discussion with participants of the workshops, depending on their wishes and needs.
Objectice: We plan to present and discuss the following themes (depending on the participants’ wishes and needs):
- Successfully achieve goals, have fun, build collaborations (30 minutes): How to combine clinical and research/teaching work? How to make science fun? How to build an international network?
- Challenges: What particular challenges do German primary care researchers face?
- Survival tips (30-40 minutes): What are the benefits of peer groups? How to use Action Learning Sets? How to balance work and private life? During the workshop the participants will reflect on the abovementioned issues from their own perspective and create more awareness about their career.
Number of participants: 20
Short introduction of the workshop chairs: Workshop leaders are primary care researchers from Germany, Netherlands, Ireland and the UK. They participate in the Oxford International Primary Care Leadership Program since 2008 (http://www.oxfordleadershipprogramme.co.uk). Development of collaboration, peer support while taking career steps, and a lot of fun is all part of the program.
