This sub-group focuses on Primary Care Researchers in Scotland (PCRiS).

Abertay University
Glasgow Caledonian University
Queen Margaret University College
Robert Gordon University

and the Scottish Primary Care Research Network.
The PCRiS sub group will be a useful way to:
• Identify members with research expertise in specific topic areas• Alert members to research collaboration and educational opportunities
• Disseminate relevant materials or calls for papers
• Take soundings on specific issues or pressures

• Generate discussion or feedback on a wide range of relevant topics.
The sub-group will be facilitated by Laura Wilkie and Alison Hinds. Laura is the SSPC Communications Manager and Alison is the Research Manager for SSPC with a background in health and social research and more recently NHS research management.
