Lincolnshire Primary Care Research & Innovation Event
We’re inviting all of our Primary Care colleagues to join us in ‘Building a collaborative future for Research & Innovation in Primary Care.
Who is this conference for?
Anyone interested in Research & Innovation working in the primary care sector:
- Community Pharmacies
- Dental Practices
- GP practices & PCNs
- Optometry Services
Perhaps you see the importance of Research & Innovation for your career, practice or patients, but don’t know where to start, what resources are available or who can support you. Maybe you already have experience in the Research & Innovation sector but don’t know how to upscale and would value insights from successful models. This conference is aimed at both research naïve and research active practitioners.
Why should I be interested in Research & Innovation as a primary care practitioner?
Research in primary care is important for many main reasons, but here are three that rank chiefly amongst them:
Firstly, research is necessary for us to constantly question our practice and reduce complacency.
Secondly, findings from research allow us to progress and improve patient care.
Finally, doing research makes us better translators of evidence, in turn, we become better critics and evidence-based practitioners.
What are the benefits of being an Research & Innovation active organisation?
- Additional Income Streams
- Increased Capacity & Capability
- Increased Staff Recruitment & Retention
Studies show that by embedding research into healthcare systems, patients benefit from:
- Improved Patient Outcomes
- Increased treatment adherence
- Access to Novel Treatments/Technologies
- Less healthcare use
The agenda is still to be finalised and will be added to this event page as soon as possible.
