The School celebrated ten years of primary care research at the Wellcome Collection on 22 November. Delegates from around the country were welcomed with a programme of presentations and discussions about past, present and future research impact. The showcase highlighted the increased evidence base provided by the School to date as well as research that promises to add a lot more to this in the future.

The School's first Director, Professor Martin Roland, gave the keynote address 'How far has primary care research come and how far does it have to go?' in which he laid out key markers, turning points and the potential challenges for the future of primary care research.

The 10th anniversary of the SPCR is a time for celebration. It has been a remarkable story, and this milestone should allow the key players an opportunity to stand back and recognise what that have done... As a GP, I recognise how their research has improved clinical practice and contributed greatly to the health of patients. As an academic colleague, I am immensely proud of their achievements. As an editor, it has been an immense privilege for me to have shared part of the journey." - Domhnall MacAuley, CMAJ Associate Editor
