Top 10 research priorities
| 1 | How can patient safety be assured for the most vulnerable in society (eg, people who are frail, have mental health problems or cognitive impairments)? |
| 2 | How can we make sure that the whole patient is treated, not just one condition and with mental health and physical health both being treated together? |
| 3 | How can we improve safe communication and coordination of care between primary and secondary care? |
| 4 | In what ways does work intensity, hours worked and staffing levels affect patient safety/near misses? |
| 5 | How does continuity of care influence patient safety? |
| 6 | How well do patients understand the information that has been conveyed to them during the consultation? |
| 7 | What can primary care do to identify and support people who may be at risk of suicide? |
| 8 | Which type of practitioner (general practitioner, advanced nurse practitioner, practice nurse) is safest to see which types of patients (acute illnesses, acute or chronic multimorbid)? |
| 9 | How can information within patient medical records be made available to patients and care providers in a way that protects privacy and improves safety and quality of care? |
| 10 | How can risks be mitigated to allow for safe complex care at home? |
