Established in 1974 and one of the oldest university departments of general practice, the Section of General Practice & Primary Care is now part of the Division of Community Based Sciences.

The aim of the section is to inform decisions made in and about general practice and primary care, based on evidence, experience and values, and working via programmes of primary care research, postgraduate development and undergraduate medical education.

We have a generalist approach with a range of clinical, academic and research interests.

Head of section is Professor Graham Watt.
