Research and surveys

This clinical trial is testing an integrated model of care involving physiotherapy, psychology and GP care, looking at how to help people with neck or back pain after a motor vehicle accident.  The research team from Curtin University, University of Queensland, and University of Sydney have provided information for GPs who may have eligible and interested patients experiencing neck or back pain from a recent (< 3 months ago) motor vehicle accident. Please view the Recruitment Information for GPs flyer for more information, and further patient information is available through the trial website www.integrateclinicaltrial.com. Participation is funded by ICWA and is therefore free for patients.

Investigators from Monash University are conducting a RACGP-funded national survey of GPs regarding the management of patients with acute exacerbations of COPD.
 
Acute exacerbations of COPD are a leading cause of hospitalisation, with a substantial proportion of cases being potentially preventable. GPs are invited to complete a short survey that aims to better understand current practice and unmet needs in order to optimise care for these patients.
