If you think that research is necessarily esoteric, difficult and remote from primary care, then try this book as an antidote. It is designed as a workbook. It covers 20 topics at the heart of the research agenda in today's NHS. Each topic has its own chapter, and is supported by on-line resources on the Web site: www.usingresearchinforprimarycare.co.uk Icons throughout the book guide you towards these relevant on-line resources which include documents, useful links and downloadable templates. At the end of each chapter there are questions to think about, practical activities and key points to consolidate the information covered.

The book describes detailed and comprehensive methods for quantitative and qualitative research and data analysis, and is useful and practical reading for all members of the primary care team including general practitioners and clinical governance staff.
