The Center for Primary Healthcare Research has established a network of Academic Care Centers (AVC) with the mission via clinically active AVC coordinators to supervise research and development projects and increase scientific competence within primary care.

At each AKC there is one or several AKC coordinators with a PhD that those who work in primary care can turn to you if you need scientific guidance or are just in need of a sounding board regarding research questions.

In 2019, we had nine AVCs with 14 AVC coordinators, including 13 district physicians and one district nurse. All of the coordinators have a PhD, four of them are associate professors and three are professors, thus a collection of relatively experienced researchers who supervise resident physician projects, projects in other professional groups (for example nurses) and hold seminars and courses.

During 2019, the AVC coordinators hosted 31 group supervision scientific seminars around Skåne. It is often resident physicians who attend to discuss their scientific papers, but everyone in primary care who plans to or is doing research projects is warmly welcomed! The seminars are free of charge and usually last about two hours with a maximum of six participants. The 2020 seminars can be found on the AVC website and in the healthcare provider web directory.

Supervision of scientific articles is one of the most important tasks of the AVC coordinators as the number of resident physicians is now higher than ever and the need for specialists in family medicine is great. During the year we supervised 59 such projects.

Other important activities are Professor Ulf Jakobsson's research school for nursing, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, our new educational investment in evidence-based medicine and "order a seminar" where you can order seminars with different themes, such as workplace meetings or FQ groups. In addition to the AVC mission, the coordinators are involved in various research projects such as studies on e-health, the Care Express, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, elderly people's health and medications, firearm accidents, difficult-toheal wounds, medical history, antibiotic prescriptions and cancer diagnostics. This research, which is next to the AVC mission, has resulted in 39 scientific articles during the year.

Some readers may wonder what happened to the former Academic Knowledge Center (AKC); they have now changed their name to Academic Care Centers because we think the new name better reflects the administration and sounds more inclusive, just as we want to be!
