A feasibility study of the use of a patient leaflet for respiratory tract infection consultations in general practice in Ireland
This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of the TY-RTI leaflet for GPs and patients, supporting its wider implementation. The leaflet supports improved communication and safety netting in the consultation and empowers patients in the self-management of RTIs, with potential to reduce patients' antibiotic-seeking behavior.
