    Seeking GP Practice Managers to participate in a national research program

    Are you involved with decision-making about the adoption of digital technologies at your GP Clinic? We are interested in understanding the types of digital technologies you use in your GP practice, how decisions were made to use them at your clinic and how you evaluate them. This study involves completing an online survey, and if interested, an interview with one of our researchers from The University of Queensland. Those who complete the survey can opt to receive a benchmarking report about their clinic. Our overall goal is to determine how to enhance primary healthcare services to be more efficient and person-centred using digital technologies. This research is being conducted with funding from the Australian Research Council, Australian Association of Practice Management (AAPM), the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) and Inala Primary Care. Don’t miss this chance to make a difference to the future of primary care.

    PANDA trial

    Cardiometabolic diseases are among the most commonly managed conditions in primary care, affecting around a quarter of Australians 45+. Physical activity, including walking, aerobic and resistance training, is key. However, current physical activity prescriptions and programs can be undermined by low uptake and adherence.

    The Physical Activity in Nature for Cardiometabolic Diseases in People Aged 45+ (PANDA) trial is seeking volunteers to take part in a focus group interview about your experiences of nearby natural settings and their capacity, opportunity and motivation to spend time there and reflect on barriers and potential remedies.
