Northern SAPC Annual Conference - UCLAN - 28/11/19 - 29/11/19

Jul, 23 2019


~Those working in Primary Care will have spent arduous hours learning their craft. These roles range from general practice, community pharmacy, dental, and optometry (eye health) services.

Primary care services provide the first point of contact in the healthcare system, acting as the ‘front door’ of the NHS. Trained professionals though still need guidance as to the development and future of their career.

The Society for Academic Primary Care provide a clear voice, and a strong presence, for Academic Primary Care in the complex and ever-changing Primary Care environment. They  offer a point of reference and contact for those seeking academic solutions to the problems they face in the provision and study of Primary Care, and the advancement of Academic Primary Care.

A two day conference has been designed to cater for the above people. The Northern SAPC Annual Conference will take place from Thursday 28th November - Friday 29th November 2019. It will be based at UCLAN’S Harrington and Greenbank Building.

You may be thinking this is all fine and good but does Academic Primary Care really matter?

Academic Primary Care improves primary care by making a positive impact on policy and practice. This then enables improvements in the care that patients receive.

They  improve Primary Care by:

  • Providing a deeper understanding of Primary Care, its aims and its relevence
  • Developing, delivering and evaluating ways of delivering Primary Care policy and practice
  • Delivering critical commentary and evidence on how wider policy and practice impacts on the provision of Primary Care

For conference enquiries please email the Events Team or telephone 01772 89265.The booking form will be open soon.

This all sounds plausible but can we really trust them? This concluding sentence will reaffirm our convictions. 

The SAPC Executive team are elected and co-opted members of the Society who set the strategic direction for the Society, and lead work to deliver on our goals.
