AAAPC Subcommittees
The AAAPC endorsed the 2020-22 Strategic Plan in 2020. The plan outlined the AAAPC’s Mission, Vision, Values and Goals.
The goals in the Strategic Plan are:
1. To become a visible, effective and sustainable organisation that is responsive to a broad primary care membership.
2. To increase linkages with organisations involved in primary care including community groups.
3. To provide effective advocacy for primary care and primary care research and training.
4. To promote and nurture research and scholarly activity in primary care.
5. To promote excellence in primary care education.
6. To train and mentor the academic primary care workforce.
7. To champion a vision of primary care oriented health care underpinned by evidence and education.
The Executive of the AAAPC has now established 5 subcommittees to help deliver on the goals of the Strategic Plan (see Terms of Reference for more details).
