Thank you for your interest in presenting a poster or an oral presentation at Primary Care Research Day, May 4th, 2026, at the Student Union Building (SUB) on the Dalhousie University Campus in Halifax, NS. We invite patient partners, students, clinicians, researchers, service planners, and policy makers to share their research and quality improvement initiatives.
The theme of this year’s Primary Care Research Day is “From Clicks to Care: Strengthening the Digital Foundations of Primary Care” but all poster and oral presentations related to primary care are invited. If your project has a patient or public engagement component, we encourage you to highlight this.
Guidelines:
Abstracts may be up to 300 words, and should include the following sections:
- Introduction
- Purpose
- Methods
- Results
- Implications for future research, policy, and/or practice.
Please provide 2-3 key words to aid our grouping of posters/oral presentations under similar topic areas. The planning committee encourages the use of plain language in abstracts, as well as in posters and presentations.
If you are a patient or a citizen and have an idea for a poster or a presentation but aren’t sure how to get started, please get in touch with BRIC Manager, Emily Burke at bricns.ca.
At the time of submission, you will be asked to indicate a preference for oral or poster presentation (you may check both if you want to be considered for both). However, the decision for the type of presentation offered is made by the organizing committee.
Review Process:
The BRIC NS Primary Care Research Day organizing committee will review all submitted abstracts. Acceptance will be based on overall relevance to primary care in Nova Scotia/Maritimes and across Canada. Please note, if your abstract submission is accepted, you will still have to register for the event.
