Aim
To identify a set of international primary care research priorities to guide resource allocation and research agendas.
Intended outcome

- Describe the primary care research priorities presented at the WHO Global Conference on Primary Care in Astana, Kazakhstan in 2018.
- Discuss the extent to which these could be priorities for SAPC members.

After a brief orientation to the 2018 PLOS One publication: ‘Identifying top 10 primary care research priorities from international stakeholders using a modified Delphi method’: participants will undertake a 2 round discussion process. Participants will suggest up to 2 additional priorities; vote on the new suggestions merged with the original 10; discuss the top 15 and finally vote to produce the SAPC research priority list.
