Finding GP evidence

Shortcuts to GP evidence

Finding reliable, up-to-date evidence to support clinical decision making can be difficult and time-consuming. The following resources make it easier:

CareSearch Resources

• CareSearch Review Collection: General Practitioners
  Compilation of systematic reviews and structured literature relating to GPs and palliative care


• PubMed Search: General Practice
  Looks for palliative care relevant literature on the provision of primary continuing comprehensive whole-patient medical care to individuals, families and their communities


• PubMed Search: General Practitioners
  Looks for palliative care literature relating to physicians who provide initial care for patients and whose practice is not restricted to a specific field of medicine

Other resources

• PHC Search Filter
  Available on the PHCRIS website, the Primary Health Care search filter - a joint project with Flinders Filters, provides quick and easy access to primary health care literature. It uses real-time searches of PubMed - a free database accessing references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics
