Abstract

There has been only partial uptake of on-line databases among this population health workforce, particularly according to attainment of relevant postgraduate qualifications. As CIAP is a resource for evidence-based practice, greater effort to increase its use is recommended to ensure population health does not fall behind hospital-based clinicians.
