Research in the College

The College has recently set up a research group (College Research Group-CRG) to develop and enhance its capacity in general practice and primary health care research. This initiative is in accordance with the College Strategic Plan 2004-2006.

The main purpose of the CRG is “to conduct, direct, encourage, support or provide for research matters relating to general practice, and to publish and encourage publication of journals, reports and treatises on matters relating to general practice and allied subjects. The CRG is developing a Terms of Reference, ‘Framework for research in the College,’ and an ‘Annual Research Plan’ to operationalise its activities.

Support from all College members is integral to achieving the aims of the CRG, to foster high-quality research practices from members and staff.
