| description | Objectives: A tripartite public–private partnership was established between GPs’ practices, public health authorities and a university department of family medicine, to develop multidisciplinary teams and integrate nurses into GPs’ practices. The present paper describes the points of view of the GPs involved in this collaboration.Methods: We conducted a qualitative study, with data coming from eight interviews with GPs, one from each practice. We also used the facilitator’s project diary to complete the discussion.Results: The principal issue discussed was the financial aspects of the collaboration. GPs are generally satisfied, but time spent coordinating with nurses and transferring activities made them fear financial losses. Secondly, the partnership with public health authorities was well appreciated, but not clear enough. Some aspects of the partnership, such as referring patient to the nurse should have been better defined et controlled. The last aspect was the academic support. It allowed reducing GPs’ workload in training nurses and supporting the project implementation within the GPs’ practice.Conclusion: GPs have a positive point of view of such public-private partnership and saw an opportunity to be involved in developing public health policies. |
