The University of Melbourne Department of General Practice’s vision is to use research partnerships and teaching to promote excellence in general practice care. We work with communities and practitioners to improve the healthcare system, placing the person at the heart of healthcare and improving health outcomes and healthcare efficiencies.

We coordinate up to 900 medical student placements in general practice clinics every year, involving our highly engaged primary care network (VicREN).

Our research focuses on clinical and health services research and training with three major research themes.

1. Clinical data analytics, where primary care data are analysed and interpreted; data are linked to explore pathways; describe epidemiology of health and disease in primary care;
2. Primary care innovation, develop, test and implement innovations including digital technologies in primary care and policy initiatives with emphasis on co-design patient centred care, the medical home and stepped care models;
3. Understanding the patient and practitioner experience and involving them in identifying the challenges in designing and testing solutions.
