“…In Australia, around 90% of the population present to general practice each year (Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, 2020 ). General practices are mostly operated and owned by General Practitioners as a small business or as part of a larger network of corporations in Australia and other countries, such as the United Kingdom (UK) and New Zealand (NZ) (Cowling et al, 2017 ; Goodyear‐Smith & Kassai, 2015 ; McInnes et al, 2019 ).…”

Aim To explore final year nursing students' perceptions of the general practice environment and their priorities when choosing a workplace. Design Online survey, reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Methods The validated Profession Scale from the Scale on Community Care Perceptions (SCOPE) tool was used to identify characteristics within the general practice environment and the importance of these in choosing a workplace. To explore the factor structure, exploratory factor analysis was undertaken which was used to revise the survey language and flow before widespread dissemination. Results Three hundred and fifty‐five responses were received. Factor analysis revealed three factors: Provision of care, Employment conditions and Nature of work. Respondents exposed to general practice in the Bachelor of Nursing program or who had a general practice clinical placement had significantly different perceptions across all factors. Although wages, advancement opportunities, work pressures and the physical nature of work were perceived as important in choosing a workplace, they were seen as only moderately present in general practice.

“…In the UK, general practices are privately owned businesses contracted to deliver primary care (Cowling et al, 2017). On the other hand, many general practices in New Zealand are private businesses, but are increasingly becoming a part of larger corporations or are owned by trusts in low‐socioeconomic areas (Goodyear‐Smith & Kassai, 2015). In Australia, general practices may be either owned by a general practitioner (GP), as a private business, or be part of larger corporate practices.…”

Aim To explore final‐year nursing students’ perceptions of general practice nursing. Background The need for general practice nurses has increased due to growing demands for health care in the community. This demand is exacerbated by a shortage in the general practice nursing workforce. Understanding final‐year nursing students’ perceptions of general practice nursing is important as these may influence career choices. Design Qualitative descriptive study within a mixed methods project. Methods Telephone interviews were conducted with sixteen final‐year nursing students. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Reporting follows the COREQ checklist. Results Perceptions of general practice nursing varied between participants and related to three main themes; ways of working; a broad role to meet diverse health needs; and relationships with patients. General practice nurses were seen to have stable and collaborative working relationships, with their role ranging from supporting general practitioners to being autonomous professionals. The nurse's broad role was associated with diverse presentations and was considered interesting and challenging. Participants perceived that general practice nurses had more time to spend with patients, and this helped establish trust, and facilitated patient‐centred care. Conclusion Participants’ perceptions of general practice nursing varied, with some students recognising the diversity of the role and others perceiving it as limited. These views were often impacted by others experiences rather than personal experience. These variations underscore the need for students to receive greater exposure to general practice nursing. Review of undergraduate curricula to increase focus on preparing nursing students to work in general practice may help shape students’ interest to seek employment in this setting. Relevance to clinical practice Students perceptions of a clinical setting can influence their career decisions. Understanding these perceptions can inform clinicians and managers and highlight areas that may need to be addressed to promote career opportunities.

“…In addition, there are also more GPs than EDs with around 1,029 GPs available as compared to 43 EDs in 2014. New Zealand also has a high number of GP specialists, with a ratio of GPs to other specialists of 2:3, one of the highest in the world 3) . However, despite this, many patients still choose to bypass their GP resulting in ED overcrowding.…”

“…This is significantly different in Japan where primary care practitioners are often physicians who have left their hospital practice in order to set up a primary care centre. They are not required to receive further training, and therefore the quality of care in general practice cannot be standardised and may vary according to physicianʼs experience and training 3) .…”
