Enabling general practice research in Singapore: A qualitative exploration of barriers, facilitators and solutions
There is acknowledgement that research conducted in the Singapore general practice environment is important, but barriers such as time, financial support and lack of systemic structures exist which limit participation. PBRNs, such as SPARK, can play a role in bridging the existing gap between clinical experience and academic expertise. The findings of this study will inform future SPARK activities to build a dynamic general practice research environment in Singapore.
