Exploring the roles and influences of the modern general practice receptionist: a systematic review with narrative synthesis.

Background: Modern general practice is characterised by increased demand and growing multi-disciplinarity, including ring-fenced funding for additional non-clinical roles. However, for practice receptionists training has remained unchanged for decades, yet primary care is under greater pressure than ever with receptionists becoming a growing focal point of abuse and unprecedented numbers leaving the role.

Aim: To present the evidence of the range of tasks that receptionists continue to perform, describing their impact on primary care delivery and how the role might be better supported.

Evaluation of the first 5 years of the Next Generation GP leadership programme: balancing autonomy and accountability.

Background: In 2017, a group of trainee general practitioners (GPs) came together to design and deliver a six-session leadership development programme for their peer trainee and early career GPs: the Next Generation GP programme. Over 2500 GPs took part in Next Generation GP between 2017 and 2022.

Aim: To evaluate the origins and development of the Next Generation GP programme, its early impact on individuals and general practice, and what it reveals about GPs' needs for career and leadership development at a time of major workforce and demand pressures.

Family characteristics, responses, and dynamics associated with sibling sexual abuse: A scoping review.

Families also play a vital role in the disclosure of SSA and in the aftermath of recovery. Nevertheless, a descriptive review consolidating the known family dynamics, characteristics, and responses associated with SSA is absent from research.
