General Practice Research

Research is the foundation of a good and high-quality patient care in general practice.

We deal with health services research, the scientific investigation of the “reality” of health care both for individuals and for the population as a whole. Our focus lies on identifying and avoiding oversupply in ambulantory healthcare.

We work in an interdisciplinary team consisting of researchers from the fields of medicine, psychology, sociology and public health as well as study assistants.

Together with general practitioners, we are establishing and further developing the general practitioner research network BayFoNet.

The citizens´ advisory board advises us on the development and implementation of our research projects.
