Objectives The aims of this investigation were to evaluate the interests of primary care dental practitioners within the Mersey Postgraduate Deanery in research and their views on research, their experience and research training needs. Method A questionnaire was sent to all practitioners in the Mersey Deanery asking for views on dental research, whether they had been involved in any research projects or had any research training, and whether they would be interested in research training and being part of a primary dental care research network. Results A total of 192 practitioners from the 1120 in the Mersey Deanery expressed an interest in being involved in primary care research. Most believed that primary care research was very important in providing a stronger evidence-base in dentistry and improved quality of dental care. Over 50% of respondents were interested in collaborative research, provided that their income and time could be protected and it was part of the normal working day. Almost 25% had some research experience and a number had undergone research training, ranging from informal training to part of a degree. Conclusions A number of GDPs in the Mersey Deanery are interested in primary care research. With appropriate training, support and recognition within the new Personal Dental Services (PDS) contracts, there is a golden opportunity for more primary care dentists to participate in research. This, in time, will add to the evidence base in dentistry and should improve patient care.

Interdisciplinary Partnership

There has been a continuously increasing focus and discussion on interdisciplinary collaboration in primary care, across various settings and in different forums, during the past few years. Interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration should be a cornerstone of daily practice and context-relevant research. We considered it important for this manuscript to attempt to address some of the key issues linked to the recognised need for competence-based training, focusing on interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration, so as to promote and enhance context-relevant research in primary care. This article provides a general introduction and an overview of this topic, along with some key concepts and operational definitions. These key definitions and their interrelated nature are examined in detail, including those of practice-based research network, patient-centred primary care research, and interdisciplinary partnership for research. Furthermore, this paper outlines the reasons for the strong focus on composition and the development of strategies to enhance the research capacity of interdisciplinary partnerships throughout training. Workforce training, retention and academic collaboration are considered, with a particular focus on primary care, and existing interprofessional relationships and perceptions thereof. Organizational aspects influencing relationships and practice are considered along with their contribution in terms of practice, research and discourse. Finally, conclusions and recommendations, formed under the prism of rapidly changing population needs, person-centred values and the imperative need of bringing innovation to the patient in an effective and efficient manner, are presented for further discussion.
