Research call: Telehealth

Photograph of Dr Sarah White
We are excited to welcome Dr Sarah White as Guest Editor for a special collection of articles on telehealth in primary care, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. Sarah is a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University and her research is focused on communication in clinical consultations. We welcome primary research and comparative analyses that elucidate differences in international responses linked to primary data on how access, continuity, comprehensiveness, coordination, and person-focused care are changing, and the subsequent impact on health and social outcomes. Documenting the outcomes of the myriad natural experiments playing out around the globe will generate important new evidence on the contribution of different primary care functions to the health of societies. Full details can be found here.

Measuring the true value of primary care

Dr Tim olde Hartman and primary care colleagues from around the globe discuss the value of primary care alongside the challenges of monitoring and measuring comprehensive primary care performance within health systems.

They highlight current limitations which seek to quantify primary care contribution based on disease specific indicators, rather than considering the full breadth of services. They argue that without the use of robust measures to comprehensively capture primary care performance, there is a bias towards individual disease-focused secondary care. They suggest that this does not reflect quality of care in an increasing complex and multimorbid population. Listen the authors discuss their article in this brief audio abstract. 

Special issue: Race and Racism in Primary Care

Text on black background reads: special issue race and racism in primary care, hashtag Racism in Primary Care
The Black Lives Matter campaign has highlighted issues of race and racism that are present in all parts of our communities and organisations. In this special collection of BJGP Open, we have collated evidence from recent individual lived experiences, alongside practice and practice submissions on this important issue. We additionally set out the journal’s ambitious programme of work to tackle racism within publication science, and we open consultation on the collection of anonymised sociodemographic data from all our authors. This will allow us to report publication statistics by ethnicity and make changes to address disparities, if they are found. We are interested in hearing your opinions. Join the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #RacismInPrimaryCare, send us an e-letter at https://bjgpopen.org/letters, or email us.

Special issue: COVID-19 and Primary Care

How is the COVID-19 pandemic influencing the ability of international health systems to deliver high quality primary care? Read Guest Editor Dr Luke Allen’s introduction to this special issue, which includes managing the pandemic in rural Africa, the response from six well-resourced countries, and the relationship between perceived ‘strong’ primary care and COVID-19 mortality.
