EGPRN Council members (Michael Harris, Thomas Frese and Tiny van Merode) developed and implemented a survey to the EGPRN’s National Representatives to find out what the main barriers to primary care research in their countries are and how EGPRN could help reduce those barriers. The 29 out of 33 National representatives completed the survey, giving 464 comments and suggestions. The results of the survey were further analysed by the Executive Board and a strategic action plan was developed. You can view this plan at the EGPRN website.
