NAPCReN
The Northern Alberta Primary Care Research Network (NAPCReN) is a multidisciplinary collaboration of researchers and clinicians who are working together to improve practice by evaluating and addressing questions that arise from clinical practice. NAPCReN includes primary care clinics located in urban and rural areas of northern Alberta. NAPCReN supports research relevant to the primary care setting, with a wide range of studies relating to topics such as chronic condition surveillance, management, prevention and screening. Our office is located in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta. The NAPCReN Steering committee provides guidance on key issues, including policy and strategic advice. The Steering committee also reviews and approves research requests.
