The Society for Academic Primary Care
Championing expertise in Academic Primary Care, driving improvements in Primary Care provision
We, the SAPC, provide a clear voice, and a strong presence, for Academic Primary Care in the complex and ever-changing Primary Care environment. We offer a point of reference and contact for those seeking academic solutions to the problems they face in the provision and study of Primary Care, and the advancement of Academic Primary Care.
Why does Academic Primary Care matter?
Academic Primary Care improves primary care by making a positive impact on policy and practice. This then enables improvements in the care that patients receive.
We improve Primary Care by:
- Providing a deeper understanding of Primary Care, its aims and its relevence
- Developing, delivering and evaluating ways of delivering Primary Care policy and practice
- Delivering critical commentary and evidence on how wider policy and practice impacts on the provision of Primary Care
How does SAPC support academic primary care?
Our Strategic Plan outlines what we do advance primary care through education and research.
Who are SAPC Exec?
Our Executive team are SAPC members, elected or co-opted to lead the work of our organisation.
Elections are held annually and we welcome expressions of interest from SAPC members across the APC community to join us.
We meet four times a year (including at the AGM), with additional teleconference meetings in between.
You can hear current Exec members talking about their role here.
We are also developing new opportunities for members to join our work as SAPC Ambassadors. More details on this scheme will be announced shortly.
