INTRODUCTION

There are a number of opportunities in concurrent sessions for Divisions and related organisations to present papers on their current and future work in key program areas and demonstrate major findings.

The aim of the paper presentations sessions will be to provide participants with new evidence and opportunities for discussion on how the activity of Divisions and their stakeholders are having an impact on the delivery of primary health care in Australia.

This year the Paper sessions complement the Divisions Achievement Award categories. Divisions/individuals who submit papers are encouraged to also indicate if they would like their Division to be considered for the Achievement Awards. 

The Divisions Showcase Poster Display provides another opportunity to highlight the range of outstanding work and successful programs being undertaken by Divisions.  The Steering Committee encourages all Divisions to consider submitting a poster to the Forum.
