Center For Primary Health Care Research

The Center For Primary Health Care Research (CPF) is the largest and most productive family and community medicine department in Europe. Since its inception in 2008, CPF has published approximately 1500 scientific articles in international scientific journals with peer review system. CPF performs primary care research and development work at one site, the Clinical Research Center – a vibrant interdisciplinary research center in Malmö, Sweden. We at CPF aim to link academia, hospitals, and primary care in order to improve cooperation between researchers and health care professionals in different settings. To achieve this, CPF has established a network of Academic Knowledge Centers (AKCs) in Skåne, the Swedish county in which we are based. CPF is highly committed to improving the health and well-being of the residents of Skåne through community engagement, public service, and industry partnerships. CPF was founded as a collaborative venture between Lund University and Region Skåne in October 2008.
