We are delighted to welcome Chris Dowrick as the Chair of SAPC's Awards Committee. Chris is well known to many of us as Professor of Primary Medical Care at the University of Liverpool and for giving a memorable Helen Lester Memorial Lecture at the 2016 ASM in Dublin.
The Awards Committee oversees four important areas of primary care care activity.
1. The Yvonne Carter Award for outstanding new researcher (closing date 31 January 2017).
Applications are invited for the next round of prestigious Commonwealth Fund's Harkness Fellowships.
The Commonwealth Fund's Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice provide a unique opportunity for mid-career health services researchers and practitioners to spend up to 12 months in the United States, conducting original research and working with leading U.S. health policy experts.
Harkness Fellowships are designed for mid-career professionals who are committed to advancing health policy and practice in The Commonwealth Fund's principal areas of interest: improving access to care, and the quality and efficiency of health care services.
