The call for abstracts is now Open!

This year's conference theme is 'Sustainable primary care – caring for people and the planet.

We welcome submissions covering all aspects relevant to primary care research, education and policy across the breadth of primary care practice and specifically those addressing this year’s theme:

• workforce sustainability through education & training;
