We invite you to share your research with fellow researchers and service users at the forthcoming SAPC Mental Health Special Interest Group - Primary Care Mental Health Conference to be held on Wednesday 14th May 2025. The focus of the conference is:

As part of the Quality and Safety Improvement in Primary Care SIG, we’ve rearranged an online talk with Prof Paul Bowie (Dr Paul Bowie - University of Staffordshire) for Tuesday the 11th of March at 13:00-14:00, which we thought might be of interest to the wider SAPC membership community.

John Fry award 2025

Congratulations to Dr Brian McMillan who received the John Fry award on 20th June June 2025 at the RCGP.

The John Fry Award is presented to a Member or Fellow of the College who has promoted the discipline of general practice through research and scholarship. The award is intended to encourage people to undertake research as a practising GP within 20 years of qualification as a GP and not holding an academic role.

Aside from the academic content, one of the highlights of the SAPC ASM is the opportunity to enjoy the social aspect and networking at the evening dinner event. This year, the event will be held in the historic buildings of the National Museum Cardiff.

Situated in the heart of Cardiff's elegant civic centre, the National Museum Cardiff houses Wales's national art, geology and natural history collections as well as major touring and temporary exhibitions.

This is your chance to shape the future of longitudinal research.

Population Research UK (PRUK) is a joint ESRC and MRC initiative with UKRI funding that aims to maximise the use and benefits of longitudinal population studies (LPS) across social, economic and biomedical research.

We are writing to invite you - our LPS community - to a series of workshops that we will be holding across the UK in October and November that will help shape PRUK funding opportunities that will be coming up in 2025.
