Primary Care Mental Health Conference
Wednesday 13th May 2026
Hosted by the University of Nottingham in conjunction with SAPC and the NIHR Mental Health Translational Research Collaboration Mission
We are proud to be hosting the annual primary care mental health conference. The conference theme this year is ‘Providing better care for underserved communities in primary care mental health.’
There will be opportunities for oral and poster presentations, and networking with academics and others interested in primary care mental health. This will be an in-person event in Nottingham.
We invite abstracts of no more than 350 words.
Abstracts will be peer reviewed. If accepted, at least one author will be expected to attend the conference in person.
Oral and poster presentations will be considered for the annual SAPC primary care mental health research presentation prize, which will be announced on the day of the conference. Certificates will be provided for all delegates who attend. Certificates will also be provided for high scoring abstracts.
We will notify you when registration opens. In the meantime you are invited to join SAPC here:

We will aim to select a variety of abstracts which demonstrate work to improve the understanding and range of support provided for mental health conditions in primary care. We welcome submissions from academics working in primary care research. We particularly welcome submissions from early career researchers, who may not have presented before.
We would like to invite people with interdisciplinary perspectives of relevance to primary care mental health research. For example, submissions on improving access to care or care pathways for people with mental health problems, which could include service change or digital innovation. Research which engages with philosophy or humanities, for example, may offer alternative standpoints.
Deadline for abstract submission will be 4pm Friday 13th February 2026
