DescriptionThe South West Society for Academic Primary Care Conference will take place at the University of Plymouth in 2027, hosted by the Community and Primary Care Research Centre, University of Plymouth Peninsula Medical School, Faculty of Health. The conference will open at 12:00 on Tuesday 16th March and close at 14:00 on Wednesday 17th March. This year's theme, Connecting Research, Practice and Communities – Improving Primary Care Together, reflects our commitment to supporting the NHS vision of primary care as the cornerstone of neighbourhood health. By bringing together evidence-based, preventative and person-centred approaches, primary care has a pivotal role in addressing population health needs and reducing inequalities. Achieving these ambitions requires strong partnerships that bridge research, clinical practice and community experience. This conference will showcase and explore how big data, co-produced research and meaningful community engagement can support the development of more effective, equitable and sustainable primary care that addresses local need. We will be delighted to receive abstracts from senior and early career researchers, educators, teachers and students, as well as individuals involved in service development and VCSEs, from the academic primary care community.

We welcome applications for clinical, service improvement, development, workforce and educational research presentations at the conference. There are three types of abstract submission:
Oral presentations These will be clustered by topic into parallel sessions relating to the conference themes and are limited to 10 minutes in length, with up to 5 minutes for discussion, or 3 minutes for lightning talks with 2 minutes for discussion. We also encourage abstracts from medical students and others in training. Poster presentations We encourage poster submissions (A0 portrait). These will need to be printed so they can be displayed on boards throughout the conference. Authors will have an opportunity to give a short (1 minute) introduction to their poster and take questions during an allocated time. Workshops These will be hour-long interactive sessions ideally on a topic, issue or method related to the conference theme. Preference will be given to those workshops that share skills or learning, demonstrate a method or work towards an output or outcome (e.g. editorial). Abstracts for oral presentations, posters and workshops should be submitted according to the guidance below by 1pm on Monday 16th November 2026. Authors of successful submissions will be informed by e-mail in January 2027. Recently Added | |||||||||||||||
