Conference programme and themes
The Scientific Committee is particularly keen to receive abstracts outlining research, education and policy which speak to our conference theme: Living and Dying Well.
Our conference theme of ‘Living and Dying Well’ is a celebration of the central role of primary care in maximising wellness for people across their life course. We particularly welcome submissions that map closely to this theme. However, submissions are welcome on any topic relating to research and educational activities in primary care both in the UK and internationally. Please note that we have taken a decision NOT to have any paper posters. We have done this after undertaking some market research. Instead we are welcoming both long (10 min plus 5 min Q&A) and short (3 min plus 2 min Q&A) oral presentations. The programme has been carefully planned, however, to ensure that there will be the same number of total presentation slots at this year’s meeting as there have bene in the past.
We hope that you will come and join us in July 2020 to enjoy the conference and the social events.
Notifications
Notifications of the status of your submission following peer review and the programme meeting will be emailed to submitters by the end of April 2020.
