    How can we integrate brief conversations about alcohol reduction into practice? Lessons from an Australian intervention

    How can we integrate brief conversations about alcohol reduction into practice? Lessons from an Australian intervention

    In this episode, we talk to Dr Liz Sturgiss, who is an Associate Professor of Primary Care Research at the School of Primary and Allied Health Care at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
    Paper: Multifaceted intervention to increase the delivery of alcohol brief interventions in primary care: a mixed-methods process analysis
    Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0613
    Brief interventions can reduce alcohol- related harm when delivered in general practice, but there is an implementation gap in routine clinical practice. The REACH programme, which includes resources for patients, clinicians, and clinics, can improve alcohol recording in the general practice setting. Enhanced alignment between national policy and clinical need can support preventive health innovations through existing channels. When appropriately resourced and supported, general practice can deliver alcohol brief interventions in daily practice.

    A look at how musculoskeletal consultations and prescribing changed during the Covid pandemic

    A look at how musculoskeletal consultations and prescribing changed during the Covid pandemic

    In this episode, we talk to Dr Victoria Welsh and Dr Claire Burton, who are both GPs and lecturers in primary care at the Centre for Musculoskeletal Health Research at Keele University. 
    Title of paper: Trends in musculoskeletal consultations and prescribing: an electronic primary care records study
    Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0648
    Rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) are a common cause of pain and disability, with core non-pharmacological management supported by analgesic medications. To the author’s knowledge, no previous studies have observed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care of patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) in primary care, including consultation patterns and analgesic prescribing. This study demonstrates that fewer patients consulted with RMDs during lockdown, and a greater proportion were prescribed strong analgesia (including opioids) during pandemic-related restrictions. Clinicians appeared to respond to patient needs during the pandemic amidst restrictions placed upon non-pharmacological treatments, and commissioners must consider the impact of these behaviour changes during future pandemic planning.

    Patients and gut feelings, and how to take these into account in the general practice consultation

    Patients and gut feelings, and how to take these into account in the general practice consultation

    In this episode, we talk to Margje van de Wiel from the Department of Work and Social Psychology, at Maastricht University in The Netherlands.
    Title of paper: ‘How do patients in general practice voice their gut feelings and value them?’
    Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0427
    We know that primary care professionals acknowledge the usefulness of patients’ gut feelings for their clinical reasoning. However, we do not precisely know the wordings and expressions patients use to voice their gut feelings and how they share them with professionals. The results we found may improve the professionals’ recognition of patients’ gut feelings and their insight into their background and enable further research into their validity.

    It’s not all about the money – exploring the motivations of Danish GPs

    It’s not all about the money – exploring the motivations of Danish GPs

    In this episode, we talk to Line Pedersen and Anne Sophie Oxholm from the Research Unit for General Practice at the University of Southern Denmark.
    Title of paper: Mapping general practitioners’ motivation: It is not all about the money. A nation-wide cross-sectional survey study from Denmark
    Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0563
    Understanding physicians’ motivation may be essential for designing policies and organisational structures that ensure the wellbeing and retention of GPs, and high-quality care. However, physicians’ motivation remains an understudied area. We find heterogeneity in GPs’ work motivation and identify five GP segments. The largest segment (53.2%) is characterised by being motivated ‘less by the money’.
