General Practice with Primary Health Care Section
Aims
- To Further the purposes of the Society in the field of general practice with primary health care in collaboration with the many diverse disciplines and professions that contribute
- Provides a national independent forum to promote high quality education and exchange on topical and emerging issues in primary care.
Established in 1950, the Section was instrumental in its early days in the founding of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 1952.
Its activities generate opportunities:
- to learn with, from and about other professions
- to call upon specialist expertise from education, research and practice to enhance and update clinical knowledge and skills
- to stimulate innovation in education and practice
- to enrich understanding of primary health care in its cultural and environmental context.
A range of day conferences and evening seminars are held each year complemented by a week-long GP Forum and, for the first time in 2008, an overseas study visit (to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm).
Many meetings are held jointly with other sections of the RSM and other professional bodies whose members attend as guests.
The Section welcomes ALL who have contact with individuals, families and communities with and through primary health care.
