About Us
The Primary and Community Care Academy is an overarching service which leads on the learning, development and research of the primary and community care team within General Practice, Dental, Community Pharmacy and in the future Optometry.
The Academy is focused on the training, education and upskilling of all of the primary care workforce. It receives funding from the Health Board and HEIW.
Our key objectives are to:
- Strengthen the skills and capability of the primary and community care workforce through training and education programmes delivered through a hub and spoke model by 2025.
- Build and deliver a training and education programme that is driven by the needs of the population and the primary and community workforce by 2025.
- Develop and implement a recruitment and retention strategy for primary care in North Wales to address the limitations in capacity by 2025.
- Increase the number of Research and Development studies and evaluation exercises within health board managed primary and community services by 30% by 2025. This should be within training Hubs and Academy programmes.
