The Primary Care Academic CollaboraTive (PACT) is a collaborative research network of over 1,200 primary care clinicians who take part in collaborative primary care research and quality improvement projects. 

The PACT Summary & Impact Report 2019-2024 has just been published, highlighting the achievements of this collaborative research network over the past five years.

Dr Jessica Watson, GP and NIHR Clinical Lecturer in General Practice, at the Centre for Academic Primary Care, University of Bristol, and PACT Chair, said:

"We are delighted to announce publication of our first impact report. I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributed to the report, and to our members for helping to generate the impact, which is evidenced in this report through our research projects, academic publications, and involvement and engagement activities. We look forward to continuing our collaborations over the next five years."

The NIHR School for Primary Care Research (SPCR) has provided infrastructure funding for PACT and said that it "is really pleased to see how far the collaborative has come over the last five years." 

Since its inception in 2019, PACT has grown to over 1,000 members across the UK, providing clinicians with the opportunity to participate in high-impact research projects that directly enhance patient care.
