The study, The organisation and delivery of health improvement in general practice and primary care: a scoping study became the celebrated 100th issue published by the Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) journal. It examined the organisation and delivery of health improvement activities within general practice and the primary health-care team. The study established that the focus of attention is mainly on individual prevention approaches, with the range of activities suggesting that general practitioners do not take a population approach but focus on individual patients.
HS&DR launched in 2013 and publishes evidence to improve the quality, accessibility and organisation of health services and to enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS. The publication of its 100th issue marks a major achievement and significant landmark for the HS&DR programme that has developed quickly over the past three years.
