Scope/Description:

London Journal of Primary Care has a vision for high quality multidisciplinary primary care that goes beyond medical treatments. It requires competent organisations systems and teamworking as well as quality onetoone consultations. It considers environments that support healthy individuals families and communities as well as care pathways for named diseases. Practitioners often need to work in partnership with others including those concerned with social care mental health public health and voluntary care.The journal will promote generalist practicemedical and nonmedical. Generalists differ from specialists by dealing with all aspects of peoples health and disease. People sometimes present with a simple diagnosis. But often they have multiple interconnected concerns. Things like continuity of care reflective practice and teamworking help bubble to the surface things that matter but at first sight are invisible. Papers should be practically useful. Each should contain a message or insight that will help practitioners managers or policymakers to improve quality. Case studies and complex interventions will be particularly welcome when they reveal the dynamic nature of primary care. The first test for a paper you submit is the so what test.We welcome research and audit as well as thoughtful analysis. We encourage you as an author to think of yourself as a reflective inquirer and storyholder. This means your paper should describe a question that you are trying to answer and also why this question is important both to you and to a bigger story. Combined quantitative qualitative and participatory inquiries are ideal because these provide different kinds of insight into complex situations and together can reveal more than any discrete insight can on its own. We expect you to include good data and describe its limitations. We expect you to be familiar with the writings of others.
