2009 GP & PHC Research Conference - Driving Change

Call for abstracts now open

The annual General Practice and Primary Health Care Research Conference is one of the premier primary health care networking events in Australia. It is a must for anyone with an interest in primary health care research, evaluation and development.

The conference provides essential opportunities for researchers, decision makers, practitioners and consumers to share ideas, form collaborations and networks with speakers and other delegates.

The aims of the Conference are to:

• provide a forum for the presentation of research and other projects and initiatives
• facilitate debate and discussion on key issues
• provide opportunities for networking among keynote speakers and delegates
• offer workshops to develop skills and increase knowledge
• support research involvement by research users.

As we have come to expect, this conference will be an ideal opportunity to observe and discuss relevant research.

Building on from previous conferences and taking into account the increase in primary health care research, the program is an exciting blend of keynote speakers, panel sessions, workshops, symposia, and poster and paper presentations.

We invite you to submit abstracts covering all forms of primary health care research including general practice, allied and community health, nursing, multidisciplinary teams and models of care. Visit <www.phcris.org.au/conference/> for more details.

Call for abstracts closes Friday 3 April.
