TL;DR
An overview of primary care research networks is given, outlining what these networks are and what they do and suggesting how these lessons can be built on through better integration with emerging primary care structures.
Abstract
Research networks have been established throughout the United Kingdom and internationally to develop research and education

BMJPragmatic randomised controlled trial of local corticosteroid injection and naproxen for treatment of lateral epicondylitis of elbow in primary care
305 Citations1999Elaine M. Hay, Susan M Paterson +3 more
This large pragmatic randomised trial showed that corticosteroid injection was significantly better than non-steroidal anti-inflammatories or placebo tablets at four weeks.

BMJGeneral practice---time for a new definition
147 Citations2000Frede Olesen
It is time to create a new definition of general practice based on the ideal content of the specialty, emphasising the need for general practitioners to be able to take a biomedical, psychological, and social approach to patients and their problems.
BMJPostal questionnaire study of disability in the community associated with psoriasis
90 Citations1996Patrick O'Neill, Peter J. Kelly
Patients with psoriasis have an overall lower perception of their quality of life than healthy controls, and those in the lower social classes suffer a greater degree of disability from their disease than the higher social classes.
PubMedWhat are the attitudes of general practitioners towards research?
65 Citations2000Geoffrey Robinson, M.K. Gould
Perceived priorities for future primary care research are chronic illness, primary care organisation, and patient behaviour.
PubMedThe productivity of primary care research networks.
50 Citations2000Frances Griffiths, A. Wild +2 more
The organisational form of primary care research networks and how their productivity can be evaluated are discussed, drawing on evidence from management science.

This project aims to promote community participation in exploring perceptions of psychological distress amongst Pakistani and Bangladeshi people in order to develop appropriate services.
BMJThe research needs of primary care
30 Citations2000Paul Thomas
A health service that is led by primary care must be able to inquire into the practice of primary care; let research in primary care blossom, and in England, at least, this logic now seems to be backed by political will.
PubMedTowards a conceptual framework for evaluating primary care research networks.
26 Citations2000Stephen Clement, Aimee N. Pickering +4 more
A conceptual framework for evaluating primary care research networks is described that includes objectives, process indicators, and outcome indicators and is proposed as a provisional model that will promote further research and debate.

21 Citations2000Paul Thomas, Joe Kai +2 more
Challenging questions about how to make the ‘R’ and ‘D’ of research and development relevant to the local situation are posed by initiatives such as clinical governance and evidence-based pre-scribing.
