The Indigenous Primary Health Care and Policy Research (IPHCPR) Network will be hosting a series of Primary Health Care and Policy Research Seminars for stakeholders interested and/or involved in primary health care and policy research to share and increase knowledge of PHC research methods among researchers and knowledge users.
For this seminar, a panel of notable PHC researchers will be invited to present their innovations, methods and outcomes focusing on virtual care during COVID-19 and to address key questions. A Q&A session will give attendees the opportunity to ask their own questions.
