Aims | Quotations |
“We aimed to develop a practical, ethical, long-term means of undertaking research in general practice by adjusting research methods to the everyday procedures of general practice teams, rather than asking doctors and nurses to change the way they recorded care in order to accommodate research requirements.” (Dovey and Tilyard 1996) “Its aim has always been to provide an efficient and effective support network for all interested healthcare researchers in what are now the three North Cumbria PCT's; Carlisle & District PCT, Eden Valley PCT and West Cumbria PCT.” (Robertson et al 2005) “The aim of the network is to promote a research and development culture through primary care in order to secure high quality, evidence-based, clinical care.” (Smith and Dunleavey 1996) “The network aims to operate as a complex adaptive learning system (a whole system approach) by resolving a number of seeming paradoxes: There is a need for simultaneous ‘top down’, ‘bottom up’ and ‘coalition’ led research…The ‘whole system’ is big but resources permit only a small number of people to be involved at any one time…There is a need to harness individual enthusiasm but multidisciplinary working, quality and equity also need to be assured…Research needs to be focused and rigorous but reflective inquiring practice is a goal for all involved in primary care development.” (Thomas and While 2001) “The overall aim of research networks is to support and promote high quality research aimed at improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of services offered by the NHS as well as securing lasting improvements to health nationally and internationally.” (Sullivan et al 2014) “Known as ASPIRE or ‘A Singhealth Polyclinics Initiative for Research Excellence’, the committee aims to develop a comprehensive research program consistent with the vision and mission of the Singhealth network and to cultivate research culture in the polyclinics.” (Chuan and Gan 2001) “The aims of the PCRN were: 1) To develop a culture of research in primary care in South West Scotland. 2) To provide research training. 3) To provide support for researchers in primary care. 4) To develop and conduct non-commercial research which would inform the provision of primary care.” (Hannay 2006) “The major aim of the work of the MNCCRN is to discover new knowledge that will inform primary care practice, health professional education, and health care policy.” (Anderko et al 2006) “One of the main aims of GRACE was to establish a multi-disciplinary network of research to address a complex problem and to establish an enduring European-wide primary care research network for future research.” (Nuttall et al 2011) “To spur the development of important and high-quality primary care research that is relevant to clinical practice.
