Professor Gene Feder takes on leadership role at the Centre for Academic Primary Care

16 February 2017

Professor Gene Feder has taken on the role of head of the Centre for Academic Primary Care (CAPC) on an interim basis, until Autumn 2017, from Professor Chris Salisbury.

Professor Feder, has worked at the University of Bristol since 2008. He is Professor of Primary Care and a practising GP at the Helios Medical Centre in Bristol.

He said: “I look forward to continuing Chris Salisbury’s sterling work (and that of Debbie Sharp before him) in developing CAPC into one of the world’s leading centres of academic primary care. At a particularly challenging time for general practice in the UK, our centre’s research will continue to inform clinical and health service policy, alongside its major contribution to the new medical school’s undergraduate medical programme curriculum.”

CAPC is a leading centre for primary care research and teaching in the UK, and one of nine academic centres that form the NIHR School for Primary Care Research. It is part of the University of Bristol's School of Social and Community Medicine (SSCM), an internationally recognised centre of excellence for research and teaching in population health sciences.

Later this year, the SSCM will become part of a new medical school incorporating the SSCM and School of Clinical Sciences.
