Would you be interested in joining our in-person Incubator event in September?

As you know this event is designed to provide valuable insights and practical skills for early career researchers. The day has been designed to give early career researchers the opportunity to network and build connections, whilst participating in bespoke workshops for clinical education research.

The importance of research and teaching in primary care.

Talking General Practice speaks to GP and co-chair of the Society of Academic Primary Care Dr Duncan Shrewsbury about the role academia has to play in primary care - both in terms of teaching and research.

In this episode, Duncan explains why we need more research in primary care, how practices can get more in research or start smaller-scale research projects in their own practice, as well as some of the issues around sharing data from the GP patient records for large-scale research projects.

Abstracts are invited for the Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS) Conference 2024. The conference is an excellent opportunity to showcase your scientific research and best practice / service improvement work. Encore abstracts are also accepted. The programme will feature abstract oral presentations and guided poster walkabouts to encourage discussion and aid the dissemination of findings. Please submit your abstract by 30th June 2024: https://www.pcrs-uk.org/conference/abstracts

The RCGP Scientific Foundation Board (SFB) and the Society for Academic Primary Care (SAPC) are pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 Awards for Outstanding Early Career Researchers.

Learn to Discover (L2D) cordially invites you to join us for a unique live event on May 8th at 14:00 (BST) at the RADA Studio Theatre, in Central London.
 
Coding the Future will showcase the breadth and scope of the Learn to Discover project - an online course that delivers wide-ranging training and education in data sciences, machine learning and AI: developed by life scientists, and aimed at active researchers and innovators in healthcare, and fundamental biosciences.
 

The Stoma Support Study was carried out at Keele University and funded by the NIHR School for Primary Care Research (SPCR).  Researchers collaborated with young people who have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a stoma, and a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals (HCPs), to co-design a digital intervention to support the management of distress experienced by young people after stoma surgery.

Congratulations to Dr Clare Taylor who received the John Fry award on 17th November 2023 at 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.

Clare Taylor has consistently committed to primary care research, particularly in heart failure, and has a solid publication record for her career stage.
