Abstract
Research was defined for the purposes of the UK Universities Research Assessment Exercise in 2001 as ‘original investigation undertaken in order to gain knowledge and understanding’. This article will examine how this translates in practical terms in general practice, what impact research has had on our clinical work as GPs and what opportunities exist for Associates-in-Training interested in engaging in research at different stages of their career.
