Research Matters is a valuable way of sharing knowledge and insights in a wide variety of topics. In 2026, our focus will be on Primary Care more broadly and we are always looking for presenters. Maybe you know someone who has a topic that would be of interest to students and staff? Visitors are welcome to present!
