Efforts have been made to attract newly registered nurses to general practice but there is still a workforce deficit. There is also a lack of research and initiatives around the recruitment of nurses new to general practice but who have experience in other areas of nursing. Aim To explore the views and experiences of nurses who had recently switched to a general practice nursing role after having worked in other nursing roles. Method For this exploratory qualitative study, the researcher conducted individual semi-structured interviews with four nurses who had switched to general practice from other settings within the previous two years. Findings All participants had chosen general practice because they wanted to support people to live healthy lives rather than care for people once they had become unwell. Despite access to training and mentoring, participants described feeling overwhelmed and lacking confidence. All of the participants emphasised the importance of interactions with the team to ease feelings of isolation. Conclusion General practices need to consider offering development opportunities and robust mentoring or preceptorship to nurses with experience in acute care settings who want to work in primary care.","PeriodicalId":16855,"journal":{"name":"Journal of primary health care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136309886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It facilitates pharmacists' screening and brief interventions regarding an individual's opioid use for chronic pain. At our academic teaching hospital, the ROOM Tool was adapted to incorporate a communication tool that includes a pharmacist's assessment and recommendations for primary care providers. This modified ROOM Tool was implemented as part of usual care in our outpatient pharmacies; however, the value to primary care providers is unknown. Aim The aim of this study was to determine primary care provider perspectives on the modified ROOM Tool. Methods Focus groups were conducted with primary care providers from an Academic Family Health Team. The focus group encompassed topics related to the positive and negative aspects of the modified ROOM Tool in supporting the care of patients using opioids for chronic pain. Qualitative content analysis of transcripts was performed to identify themes. Results Three focus groups were conducted with a total of six participants. Four themes emerged: (i) Facilitators to using the tool, (ii) Barriers to using the tool, (iii) Recommendations for improvement, (iv) Impact of the tool on patient care and safety. Discussion The ROOM Tool paired with the communication tool supports collaboration between pharmacists and primary care providers. The communication tool standardises the approach for communicating the pharmacist's assessment and recommendations.

Healthcare providers may contribute to inequity due to their biases. Medical education can unintentionally promote biases by reinforcing stereotypes or limiting exposure to diversity. Teaching staff from the Department of General Practice and Rural Health suggested a need to review current teaching materials to ascertain if they have the potential to contribute to this bias. Aim The aim of this study was to review case-based teaching material to determine its representation of the New Zealand population, and whether there is potential to contribute to implicit bias. Methods Document analysis of 135 cases used to teach fourth- and fifth-year medical students in the Department of General Practice and Rural Health, Otago Medical School was performed. Demographic, clinical and social features of each case were recorded and analysed. Results Cases typically included patient age (129/135, 95.6%), sex (127/135, 94.1%) and occupation status (91/136, 66.9%).
