Our team at Queen Mary University London are hosting the annual conference which showcases the latest research and education in academic primary care, and provides an opportunity to share relevant methodological developments.

Scientific programme

Create your own personalised programme of parallel sessions - here's how!

The Conference programme will be dedicated to providing opportunities to share your work through oral presentations, posters, symposia and workshops. By popular demand we will also continue some of the new features from the 2017 programme (e.g. the doctoral masterclass).

We are keen to showcase the academic work of our international primary care colleagues in Europe and beyond. We also plan to include a special emphasis on the challenges faced by populations on the move: migration, displacement, homelessness, delivering cross-cultural primary care, for example. Preference will be given to papers which highlight primary care as expert generalism and which embrace the complexity of delivering person-centred care.

The call for abstracts is now closed but you can still see the text for abstract submission and the different types of presentation.

Parallel oral sessions

Oral presentations are in 15 minute slots (10 minutes presentation time plus 5 minutes Q&A).

Posters and poster pitches

Find out more about posters and poster pitches eg when to put up your poster, design etc.

Poster board size - 1m wide by 2m high - A0 portrait orientation (please do not use landscape)

Posters will be on display in the Conservatory Terrace, level 4, Barbican Centre POSTER SESSION 1 (Weds) and POSTER SESSION 2 (Thurs)

Social programme

We have organised a social programme which will provide a chance to network with colleagues and make new friends. This will begin on Tuesday 10^th July at the drinks reception which will be held in The Great Hall at Barts – a great opportunity to see this wonderful building. It will continue on Wednesday 11^th July with the conference dinner at The Tower Hotel in its magnificent location next to Tower Bridge and The Tower of London.

Our team will also provide some extra activities such as a run and walking tours.

We hope that you will come and join us in July 2018 to enjoy the conference and take the opportunity to explore London.

The Audience

This annual conference brings together researchers and educators from the primary care community in the UK and around the world to showcase their latest studies on any aspect or issues relating to primary care. This is a great opportunity for you to share your work, join the conversation and shape the future of primary care.
