Primary Care Show 2025 Conference Exchange: A UK based conference exchange
Abstract
The exchange programs organized by the European Young Family Doctors Movement (EYFDM) under the leadership of the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) offer young family physicians the opportunity to learn about primary healthcare systems in different countries. Prior to the Primary Care Show 2025 conference held in Birmingham, UK, on May 14-15, 2025, a two-day exchange was run as part of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Primary Care Show 2025 exchange program. The exchange program enabled an insight into the UK's primary healthcare system. General Practitioner (GP) trainees and GPs in their first five years of training across the world were invited to attend a pre-conference exchange. Primary care services observation included preventive healthcare, chronic disease management, women's health services, and vaccination. Significant shared learning and development took place for hosts, exchange delegates, and the organising committee.
