Clinician-reported experience measures (CREMs)
Self-reported measures by health and social services human resources
This project presents an evidence and gap map of qualitative research on clinicians’ experiences related to wellbeing in primary care. Using the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) framework, the map organises experiences across key external and individual factors influencing clinicians’ wellbeing. By visually synthesising a large body of qualitative literature and making it available through an interactive online map, the project supports researchers, decision-makers, and stakeholders in identifying where evidence is concentrated, where gaps remain, and where further research or action may be needed to better support clinician wellbeing in primary care settings.
