Researchers working with Professor Kaarin Anstey at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and The University of New South Wales (UNSW) are conducting a project aimed at exploring attitudes and opinions of clinicians and practice staff on the implementation of dementia risk assessment, and an online dementia risk assessment tool (CogDrisk) in primary care settings.
The study would involve either an hour-long online focus group or interview, to the preference of the GP, practice nurse, or practice manager.
Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are inviting Australia-based General Practitioners (GPs) to take part in a brief study exploring ways to better support people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds living with or beyond cancer.
This study aims to understand the barriers and facilitators GPs experience when implementing behaviour change strategies to support CALD patients affected by cancer. Insights from this research will help inform future programs and resources designed to improve culturally appropriate cancer care in general practice.

Those who complete the survey can opt to receive a benchmarking report about their clinic.
The National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) is seeking participants for a study that will investigate the role certain genes may have in predicting which individuals might experience adverse events of special interest (AESI) after COVID-19 vaccination.
Participants who have had a COVID-19 vaccination and did not experience any serious adverse events are invited to submit a saliva sample via a self-collection kit for genetic analysis. The kits will be posted to participants at home and can be returned via reply-paid postage. Contact NCIRS for more information.
Researchers at the University of Wollongong are seeking GPs from across Australia to participate in a study investigating General Practitioner (GP) views of the use of information from general practice records for research in Australia. This project is part of a larger study examining how we can use general practice data for research in ways that the public, GPs and other stakeholders will find ethically justifiable and acceptable.
If you would like to take part in this study, please email Dr Heidi Green hgreen@uow.edu.au to register your interest.
Researchers from Bond University and the University of Newcastle as seeking General Practices to participate in a MRFF funded research project to improve health outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes.

Cardiometabolic diseases are among the most commonly managed conditions in primary care, affecting around a quarter of Australians 45+. Physical activity, including walking, aerobic and resistance training, is key. However, current physical activity prescriptions and programs can be undermined by low uptake and adherence.
The Physical Activity in Nature for Cardiometabolic Diseases in People Aged 45+ (PANDA) trial is seeking volunteers to take part in a focus group interview about your experiences of nearby natural settings and their capacity, opportunity and motivation to spend time there and reflect on barriers and potential remedies.
