The AusCAPPS (Australian Contraception and Abortion Primary Care Practitioner Support) Network is a virtual community of practice established to support GPs, nurses and pharmacists to provide LARC and EMA in primary care. Evaluating participant engagement with AusCAPPS presents an opportunity to understand clinician needs in relation to LARC and EMA care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Data were collected from July 2021 until July 2023. Numbers of online resource views on AusCAPPS were analysed descriptively and text from participant posts underwent qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In mid-2023 AusCAPPS had 1911 members: 1133 (59%) GPs, 439 (23%) pharmacists and 272 (14%) nurses. Concise point-of-care documents were the most frequently viewed resource type. Of the 655 posts, most were created by GPs (532, 81.2%), followed by nurses (88, 13.4%) then pharmacists (16, 2.4%). GPs most commonly posted about clinical issues (263, 49% of GP posts). Nurses posted most frequently about service implementation (24, 27% of nurse posts). Pharmacists posted most about health system and regulatory issues (7, 44% of pharmacist posts).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n GPs, nurses and pharmacists each have professional needs for peer support and resources to initiate or continue LARC and EMA care, with GPs in particular seeking further clinical education and upskilling. Development of resources, training and implementation support may improve LARC and EMA provision in Australian primary care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjsrh-2024-202330","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]],"date-time":"2024-07-03T00:35:19Z","timestamp":1719966919000},"page":"94-101","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["What do Australian primary care clinicians need to provide long-acting reversible contraception and early medical abortion?
