Abstract: | The recently published ‘ Research Agenda for General Practice/Family Medicine and Primary Health Care in Europe ’ summarizes the evidence relating to the core competencies and characteristics of the Wonca Europe defi nition of GP/ FM, and its implications for general practitioners/family doctors, researchers and policy makers. The European Journal of General Practice publishes a series of articles based on this document. In a fi rst article, background, objectives, and methodology were discussed. In a second article, the results for the two core competencies ‘ primary care management ’ and ‘ community orientation ’were presented. This article refl ects on the three core competencies, which deal with person related aspects of GP/FM, i.e. ‘ person centred care ’ , ‘ comprehensive approach ’and ‘ holistic approach ’ . Though there is an important body of opinion papers and (non-systematic) reviews, all person related aspects remain poorly defi ned and researched. Validated instruments to measure these competencies are lacking. Concerning patient-centredness, most research examined patient and doctor preferences and experiences. Studies on comprehensiveness mostly focus on prevention/care of specific diseases. For all domains, there has been limited research conducted on its implications or outcomes. |
