Health Policy Conference


Primary Care at A(nother) Crossroads

March 3-4, 2025 | UBC Vancouver Campus or Virtual

The 37th annual CHSPR health policy conference confronted the primary care crisis. With primary care stretched beyond its limits, it is necessary for provincially delivered and funded systems to learn from each other and more quickly apply evidence to practice. Speakers engaged with approaches that are being implemented to support patients in navigating primary care, address workforce shortages, decrease inefficiencies, and use data to transform care. The event was offered in hybrid format.

CHSPR’s long-standing conference promotes discussion between policy-makers, academics, providers, trainees, patients and national organizations on timely issues shaping health systems in Canada. The 2025 conference brought together participants from diverse groups and from across the country to discuss ways to manage, deliver and finance primary care that aims to achieve the Quintuple Aim; exploring ways to increase health care equity through innovations in care delivery. Addressing challenges in our primary care systems requires co-designing strategies, collaborative dialogues, and coordinating activities, and the conference engaged with this transformative work.
