PRIMARY CARE CONFERENCE 2019

The Greater Manchester Training Hub hosted its second annual Primary Care Conference in December 2019 at King's House Conference Centre. The conference, which ran for two full-days, looked at safe and effective practice around a number of topics such as: clinical decision making, skin Lesions and de-prescribing.

Delegates consisted of GPs, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Physician Associates on our first day (Tuesday 10th December). General Practice Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, Nursing Associates and GP Assistants were in attendance on our second day (Wednesday 11th December). 

There were also plenty of students in attendance, adding to the wide-range of delegates and creating a unique networking opportunity.

The feedback from delegates reflects another success for the Greater Manchester Training Hub and primary care and we look forward to our next conference.
