The ageing population makes it imperative to provide appropriate training for general practice registrars (GPRs) in the community-based care of older patients. However, data suggest that older patients may be less willing to consult GPRs for chronic/complex care; adversely affecting training opportunities and potentially the satisfaction of older patients in training practices. This cross-sectional study was undertaken to investigate this concern in the Australian context and develop models of older patient-GPR interaction that are acceptable to patients.

Few GPs in Australia have postgraduate research qualifications and few engage actively in research. The development of an integrated and innovative curriculum at an Australian university provides a unique opportunity to embed research and critical analysis (RCA) at every stage of the programme.
