Facilitators and barriers to brokering between research and care by senior clinical-scientists in general practice and elderly care medicine

Abstract

This study reveals barriers to overcome and facilitators to develop related to the brokering role of CSs. To make the best use of CSs, brokering activities and the added value of CSs should be recognised and supported. Awareness of what CSs need to function effectively in demanding work settings could be important for the future impact of the role on the fields of GP and EM.
