The Society for Academic Primary Care has a number of Special Interest Groups – the Mental Health SIG (“No health without mental health”) is one of the most active. The group aims to bring together researchers working in the field of primary care mental health.
During the COVID-19 pandemic virtual SIG meetings were held to offer support particularly to early and mid-career researchers working in isolation to deliver mental health research. The group currently arrange a yearly in-person meeting at the SAPC Annual Scientific meeting, and host the annual Primary Care Mental Health conference. This provides a great opportunity for researchers to present their work in a supportive and nurturing environment!
Meetings typically involve a presentation about a research idea, research in progress, or discussions around wellbeing and current challenges and barriers to the group’s work.
