HEAD’S REPORT
Welcome to the 2012/2013 Annual Report of the General Practice and
Primary Health Care Academic Centre within the Melbourne Medical
School, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, The University
of Melbourne. I am delighted to share with you our achievements for that
period.
In 2012-2013 we celebrated 150 years of training doctors within the Medical
School and 125 years of women in medicine. It was two years of many public
events including the very successful “Strength of Mind” exhibition and catalogue
which celebrated the success of women in medicine. The celebrations provided
Professor Jane Gunn
an opportunity to reflect upon the importance of providing an excellent medical
education to our graduates. From our perspective it gave us a chance to truly celebrate the hundreds of
general practitioners and general practice staff who provide quality clinical placements for our medical
students. A large number of GPs joined us for our Annual Awards Dinner and you will see photographs from
this event scattered throughout this report.
Whilst The University of Melbourne was established in 1853 and the Medical School in 1862 more than
a century passed before General Practice was recognised as an important academic component of the
Medical School. We began as a unit within the Department of Community Medicine in 1977 moving to
a separate clinical department within the Melbourne Medical School in 2001. In 2010 we formed the
General Practice and Primary Health Care Academic Centre and in 2011 we established a node of the
Academic Centre at Sunshine to work closely with the North-West Academic Centre, which includes
the new clinical schools at Western, Sunshine and Northern Hospitals, in the development and delivery
of the community based component of the new Graduate Medical Curriculum in the outer north-west
metropolitan area. In 2013 we established the first Chair of Primary Care Cancer Research in Australia.
We were delighted to appoint Professor Jon Emery as the inaugural Herman Chair in Primary Care Cancer
Research in collaboration with Western Health. Jon will work closely with the Victorian Comprehensive
Cancer Centre to develop initiatives to support the important role that primary care plays in prevention,
early diagnosis and survivorship care.
Our Academic Centre brings together our Department of General Practice and Primary Care Research
Unit with over 300 general practices and community health services throughout Victoria. We are a
multidisciplinary Academic Centre that is committed to excellence in teaching, research and knowledge
exchange. General Practice is the core of our health care system and the main provider of primary health
care in Australia. The Melbourne Medical School is increasing the opportunities for medical training within
the community and our Academic Centre has been very active in providing a leadership role to achieve
this aim. Having space to accommodate doctors in training within the community setting has always been
a major barrier to successful community based placements. Over the past two years we have continued
to work in close partnership with general practices, community health services and Medicare Locals to
gain infrastructure funding to support the development of dedicated student consulting rooms. We were
delighted to support the development of 28 student dedicated consulting rooms.
Our postgraduate training for primary care nursing is well established and we are beginning to see the
benefits of nurses obtaining high quality primary care relevant recognised university level training alongside
their day to day clinical work. Two of our graduates have been awarded prizes for cervical screening. These
activities are of utmost importance to ensuring a quality health workforce in Australia and beyond.
Established in 2006, the Primary Care Research Unit (PCRU) consists of a team of multidisciplinary primary
care researchers and research higher degree students and VicReN, our practice-based research network.
Our research is based upon a social model of health and is focussed on translating evidence into practice
in a way that improves the quality and safety of primary care. We develop and test models of care and
clinical interventions using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. We have established research
programs in areas of national priority such as cancer, chronic disease, mental health, young people’s health
and violence and abuse.
In 2012/2013 we generated $5.1 million of research income and over 150 publications in peer-reviewed
journals; 7 students were awarded a research higher degree; 15 students completed their honours year; 2
staff members were awarded prestigious NHMRC research fellowships and 14 students began a research
higher degree. We are publishing in high quality journals such as LANCET, BMJ and Annals of Family
Medicine.
I hope you find much to interest you in the following pages as we introduce you to our staff and students,
share with you a snapshot of the activities and achievements of the year and provide you with a glimpse
into our future. Should you require further details, please contact us as we would be delighted to hear from
you.

TEACHING AND LEARNING T&L
THE MD MEDICAL COURSE
2012 saw the first cohort of the new MD course enter their second year during which
students undertake eight-week rotations in each of: Medicine, Surgery, and Ambulatory
Care (AC).
The aim of the AC term is to provide students with an understanding of non-ward
based health care. Students are placed into a general practice for four days in addition
to rostered shifts in an emergency department, a rehabilitation facility and hospital
outpatient clinics. Each year over 200 students undertake a four day placement in
general practice where they are introduced to the role of the general practitioner and
gain an understanding of the diversity of health care provision within general practice.
This placement is rated highly by students in their end of year evaluations.
The Primary Care Community Base program also commenced in 2012 with 56 general
practices becoming community bases for second year MD students from the Northern
and Western Clinical Schools. The practices taking part in this program continued to
take the students into 2013 whilst they rotated through the specialty terms of Women’s
Health, Child and Adolescent Health, Aged Care, and Mental Health during their third
year. In addition a new group of practices took a cohort of second year students into
the program in 2013.
During this period 182 medical students attended a practice for one day per week
across the academic year; enabling them to:
>> focus on the community context of health care; gain experience in the continuity
and breadth of primary care;
>> learn about the management and prevention of chronic long term health issues
in the community context;
>> have the opportunity to follow and understand the patient’s journey through the
health care system; and
>> gain some experience of inter-professional practice.
In 2012 the Teaching and Learning team developed an online training resource for GP
teachers in the mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise, an assessment tool for the medical
course. This training module has now been incorporated into a suite of training modules
offered to all clinical teachers of health professional students under the Excellence in
Clinical Teaching program.
We faced an exceptional circumstance in 2012 preparing for the double teaching year
in 2013. In 2013 both MBBS and MD (third year) students required a 5 week GP block
placement during the same period, effectively doubling our placement needs. This
meant we needed to recruit practices new to teaching in addition to asking current
teaching practices to double their commitment for one year. The recruitment team
worked tirelessly to contact over 1000 general practices in Victoria in order to meet this
extraordinary requirement.
The double teach year of 2013 was a great success and with the combined efforts of
the teaching and learning team and the dedication of over 380 teaching practices, we

managed to place a grand total of 1,264 medical students into both short and block
placements. This is a remarkable achievement and equals 19,869 placement days
during the year. We would like to sincerely thank all our teaching practices who continue
to provide such a high quality learning experience for our students.

INNOVATIVE CLINICAL TEACHING AND TRAINING GRANT ICTTG
In 2010 the General Practice and Primary Health Care Academic Centre received
funding from the Australian Government Department of Health through its Innovative
Clinical Teaching and Training (ICTTG) program to address the major issues preventing
or limiting participation in clinical training: space and infrastructure.
This project provided funding to develop 20 practices in the north-west outermetropolitan region of Melbourne as new or expanded teaching sites to support a more
community orientated curriculum and provide a student dedicated consulting room at
each practice. The developments ranged from construction of new spaces or major
renovations, through to more modest remodelling of existing spaces and included new
clinical and IT equipment that will greatly enhance the learning experience of students
whilst they are on placement. A unique feature of this project is the collaboration
between the General Practice and Primary Health Care Academic centre and the
hospital based clinical schools to implement longitudinal placements.
The project culminated in an event held on 2 December 2013 where Professor Stephen
Smith, Dean, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences officially launched
our community based teaching facilities at Niddrie Medical. This launch celebrated
the completion of the development of the 20 practices across North-West Melbourne
to enable them to support the community orientated curriculum of the Primary Care
Community Base (PCCB) as well as provide better facilities for student training.

CULTURAL RESPECT ENCOMPASSING SIMULATION TRAINING CREST
Cultural Respect Encompassing Simulation Training (CREST) is a collaborative project
between the University of Melbourne and Victoria University. The CREST team has
developed four cultural sensitivity training modules with a rigorous cultural competency
evaluation framework for, but not limited to, the medical, nursing, physiotherapy, social
work and paramedic disciplines. CALD simulated patients have been trained to portray
patients in immersive simulation scenarios based on the simulated patients’ real
stories and lived experiences, and to interact with and provide feedback to health care
practitioners, tutors, supervisors and students. The training modules may be delivered
face-to-face, on-line or via video link-up.
“
Even if I try to act, it’s a real experience. I became drawn into
the emotion. Although I was acting, it’s a lived experience and
was about sharing that lived experience. ”

POSTGRADUATE PRIMARY CARE NURSING
The Academic Centre in collaboration with the Department of Nursing offers the
Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma of Primary Care Nursing delivered by distance
education. It has been developed by experienced practice nurses and general
practitioners to suit the needs of busy nurses in areas that will complement their
previous experience, such as chronic disease management, quality systems and risk
management, health promotion, women’s health, mental health and youth health.
These courses enable nurses to study in areas related to their clinical practice with a
focus on the provision of high quality and evidence-based care.
We are pleased to be able to support primary care nursing as a distinct discipline, with
increasing numbers of nurses working to expand their scope of practice, with support
from the Commonwealth Government.
Students undertake two core subjects (Chronic Disease Management, Preventive
Health Care) and one elective subject to obtain the Postgraduate Certificate; or three
core subjects (Chronic Disease Management, Preventive Health Care, Quality Systems
and Safety) and three elective subjects to obtain the Postgraduate Diploma. Elective
subjects include:
>> Women’s Health Screening
>> Mental Health in Primary Care
>> Significant Issues in Women’s Health
>> Youth Health in Primary Care
>> Pregnancy Care in General Practice
>> Immunisation and Travel Health
>> Sexual and Reproductive Health
>> Applications of Clinical Pharmacology
>> Sexually Transmissible Infections
>> Evidence for Practice
“
I have patients particularly booked for me.
Before I would just assist doctors and follow
their orders. Now I am able to consult patients
alone and only consult doctors if I think the case
needs an opinion. It is a very satisfying role and
it also encourages me to continue doing more
research.”

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS FROM
PAST STUDENTS
Ms Jane Rinaldi
Jane was awarded the 2013 Service Improvement
and Innovation in Cervical Screening Award from
PapScreen Victoria.
Ms Tracy Murphy
(Women’s Health Screening subject coordinator)
Tracy received an award from PapScreen Victoria for
performing the most Pap tests in 2012. During 2012
Tracy performed over 700 Pap tests throughout rural
Victoria.
All of the subjects can also be taken as single subjects through the Community Access
Program to suit an individual nurse’s needs. A recent survey of 100 nurses who have
completed at least one of our subjects highlights the following:
>> The vast majority of nurses reported an increased scope of practice
after postgraduate training (98%) and 70% identified that their job
satisfaction increased.
“
I teach medical students pap testing, and chronic disease
management. I have also conducted sessions away from home and
presented papers at conferences.”
GRADUATE OF THE COURSE
>> Around half (52%) of nurses reported a greater teaching role as an
outcome, with around one third reporting increased respect from
doctors (39%) or regard from peers (37%) or changes to career path
(34%). The vast majority (98%) would recommend our course to
colleagues.
Women’s Health Screening
This subject provides nurses with the theory and practise of sensitive Pap testing
and breast screening. The course is delivered using innovative teaching and learning
techniques. It is available by distance education with one face-to-face workshop and
support from clinical preceptors. This subject has been supported by PapScreen Victoria
and over 150 nurses have participated during the last decade. It is evaluated highly
by nurses and results in increasing the status and role of primary care nurses in the
community. 17

PRIMARY CARE RESEARCH UNIT PCRU
The General Practice and Primary Health Care Academic Centre is home to the Primary
Care Research Unit (PCRU). PCRU is recognised for rigorous research programs, strong
collaborative research and a vibrant research higher degree training program. PCRU
brings together researchers from a diverse range of academic backgrounds including
medicine, social sciences, science, psychology, statistics, computing science, nursing
and allied health.
Our research is firmly based in general practice and primary care and focuses on the
provision of primary, comprehensive and continuing care. The social model of health,
the doctor-patient relationship and the primary care team are all embedded within our
work.
Our current research focuses on building and translating evidence into primary health
care including practice and policy, quality and safety, models of care delivery and clinical
research within primary care. Our five major research areas are: Abuse and Violence;
Ageing, Chronic Disease and Equity; Cancer; Mental Health; and Young People’s
Health.
Our research income has consistently increased over the years with our 2012-2013
research income reaching approximately $5.1 million. Our publication output averages
around 39 Category 1 publications per year and in the past 5 years our staff have
published 14 publications in the top 10 Thompson ISI general medical journals including
JAMA, the Lancet and British Medical Journal and 24 publications in the top 10
Thompson ISI primary health care journals including Annals of Family Medicine (the top
ranked primary health care journal).
We have launched a series of short courses for researchers in our areas of research
strength, providing high-level and comprehensive instruction in research methodologies
with practical, translational benefit. We are also involved in the development of the
‘virtual clinic’ and the use of new technologies in health care. In 2006 we established
the Victorian practice-based Research Network (VicReN) with a current membership of
165 which is a demonstration of our commitment to engaging the primary care sector
at all stages of the research process.
We have a highly successful Visiting Academics program and are visited by a wide
range of primary care researchers. We thank these visitors for sharing their wisdom
with us. Every Wednesday we gather for our Research Matters seminar program, so
please contact us if you would like to be included in our mailing list.

VICTORIAN PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE-BASED RESEARCH NETWORK
VicReN
VicReN is a practice-based research network formed in 2006 by the Academic Centre
to link researchers and primary care practices around Victoria. It is overseen by a
committee consisting of GPs in the community, practice nurses and University staff.
VicReN’s aim is to promote the development of important and high quality primary care
research that is relevant to clinical practice and primary care policy-making. It enables
GPs to develop their research skills and to investigate important clinical questions. It also
allows researchers to access practices and practitioners’ expertise to conduct multi-site
clinical research. VicReN advertises opportunities to participate in various primary care
research projects in a regular e-bulletin to members.
VicReN has over 160 members with representatives from over 100 practices across
Victoria. Members are predominantly GPs (105) although there is also a wide range
of other professions represented including practice managers, practice nurses, allied
health workers such as psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as other primary
care administrative staff and academics.
In 2013, VicReN partnered with NPS MedicineWise to recruit Victorian practices into the
MedicineInsight program. MedicineInsight aims to collect de-identified information from
2 million patients and to then provide feedback to practices to support improvements
in prescribing and clinical activity. The information will also be used to build a national
medicines database to influence health policy.

AUSTRALIAN PRIMARY CARE RESEARCH NETWORK APCReN
The Australian Association for Academic Primary Care (AAAPC) was funded in 2013 to
establish a national network of Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs). This new
network agency (APCReN) is coordinated by the General Practice and Primary Health
Care Academic Centre and has close ties with the VicReN team.
The APCReN Working Group is working to identify other Australian PBRNs and
research networks in primary care. The group is also conducting surveys to identify
information about each of the networks: Profile, Membership, Governance and staffing,
Communication, Operational activities, Research projects, Education and training,
Partnerships, Funding and Successes.
A governance structure has been established for APCReN and a logo and website have
been developed which are linked to the AAAPC website. Newsletters and e-bulletins
will also be produced and sent to members to provide information about the network,
the individual PBRNs which form APCReN and the research projects which are currently
underway. It is anticipated that this will assist in forming potential research partnerships
in a variety of capacities.

ACADEMIC REGISTRARS
The Academic Registrar scheme is a highly valuable program funded by General Practice
and Training (GPET) Ltd, a body that manages general practice training programs on
behalf of the Federal Government. The General Practice and Primary Health Care
Academic Centre has participated in this scheme for a number of years, providing
training to GP registrars over 12 months or more in research skills through a research
project, as well as providing opportunities to teach and undertake project and evaluation
work. We value our Academic Registrars, who make a great contribution to the life of
the Academic Centre and we enjoy good working relationships with research training
providers such as the Victorian Metropolitan Alliance (VMA) and Beyond Medical, who
facilitate the funding of the Academic Registrar posts on behalf of GPET.
Our Academic Registrars have undertaken projects in a variety of areas, including
young people’s health, sexual health, complementary medicine, abuse and violence
and mental health. Our Academic Registrars and their respective projects are detailed
below.
We welcome the opportunity to take on Academic Registrars in future years, and are
happy to take inquiries from any interested registrars.

SHORT COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
The Academic Centre offer a number of short courses in various aspects of research
methodology and capacity building for health professionals, students, academics and
others. These courses are taught by highly experienced researchers from the Academic
Centre, and provide participants the opportunity to gain valuable skills in research
including recruitment, interviewing, analysis and dissemination that can be applied in a
range of healthcare settings. Courses ran in 2012/2013 include:
Developing interventions to bring about change in primary care (2012)
This one-day workshop taught skills in implementing evidence-based practices in
primary care settings. Workshop participants had the opportunity to experience the
challenges of using a theory (either Normalisation Process Theory or Theoretical
Domains Framework) to design an implementation intervention.
Cluster randomised trials (CRT) of diabetes complex interventions (2012)
This one-day workshop attended by 31 participants addressed key issues in planning,
implementing and evaluating CRTs of complex interventions in diabetes research.
The workshop combined a series of presentations by experts in chronic diseases,
health economics and epidemiology with interactive discussions. Group activities
were structured to ensure that the workshop was non-didactic and promoted sharing
knowledge and active learning from its participants.
Introduction to primary care research (2013)
This one-day introductory course provided an overview of various aspects of primary
care research from inception to adoption of research outcomes. Topics presented
included why research in primary care is needed, what drives primary care research in
Australia and how to conduct research in primary care.
Ethical issues in primary care research (2013)
This one-day short course introduced the novice to experienced researcher to the field
of primary care research ethics. Topics presented included the principles of ethical
research, processes of ethics approval and the ethical issues that are unique to the field
of primary care research. The course provided participants with foundational knowledge
of ethical theories that can be applied in the practice of primary care research.
Introduction to survey design (2013)
Participants attending this one-day intensive course developed skills in designing surveys
for research and evaluation projects. It also enabled participants to reflect on their own
needs and projects and suggest how to access ongoing resources and help. The course
focused on methods of administering surveys, question design, maximising response
rates and validation of scales. Examples from research on vulnerable populations were
used to explore sensitive topics such as family violence, same sex relationships, alcohol
and drug use.
40
SHORT COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
Introduction to qualitative interviewing (2013)
This two-day course attracted researchers planning to undertake or manage qualitative
research using interviews. The course provided an overview of the principles and
practices of qualitative research interviewing.
Intensive qualitative analysis clinic (2013)
This two-day intensive clinic was focussed on the analysis of qualitative data. It
introduced principles, approaches and practice of qualitative analysis. Participants
with data collected from in-depth or semi-structured, face to face interviews had
opportunities to complete hands on analysis on the second day.
Research and evaluation of sensitive issues for vulnerable groups (2013)
This two-day intensive course aimed to assist participants to develop skills in designing
and running research and evaluation projects on sensitive topics. The focus was on
vulnerable populations and sensitive issues, and a range of academic and communitybased researchers provided examples from their work in areas such as mental health,
Indigenous health, abuse and violence, and youth health.
Introduction to primary care research (Gippsland Medical Local) (2013)
The Introduction to primary care research short course delivered in early 2013 was
repeated for participants at Gippsland Medicare Local, where 13 participants were
offered an overview of various aspects of primary care research from inception to
adoption of research outcomes.
Implementation science (2013)
This two-day workshop aimed to assist participants to develop skills in implementing
evidence based practices into primary care settings. Using a mix of presentations,
forums and workshops, participants joined a community of implementation scientists
in the primary care setting to share information and workshop ideas about how to
implement change.
Nurse led models of primary care: development, implementation and evaluation
(2013)
This one-day short course focussed on nurse led models of primary care and spanned
the design and evaluation of nurse-led interventions in general practice, the design
and conduct of distance learning and capacity building initiatives for Practice Nurses
through to exploring policy and service implications for primary care.
