Rapid microbiological respiratory point-of-care testing: a qualitative study with primary care clinicians
The findings from this study highlight the potential benefits and challenges of integrating RM POCTs into routine practice. Clinicians in this study had generally favourable views towards RM POCTs. However, further RM POCT training, complementary strategies, such as communication skills training and patient education, and clear guidance on implementation should be explored to optimise RM POCT feasibility and outcomes across different primary care settings.
