'Reconnecting Academic Primary Care in the SW region'

On the 18th of March we successfully welcomed colleagues from across the south west for a one-day, on-line conference aimed at helping us to reconnect with one another and share our work. 160 delegates registered and, while it was not quite the conference we had been scheduled to host in 2021 at Scarman, it was a new and interesting experience!

We are delighted to share our full programme for the day including details of all presentations made along with the Conference Booklet which contains all submitted abstracts.
