The Lancet Primary Care is a fully open access journal focused on advancing quality primary care for healthier societies. We are dedicated to publishing research and opinion that enhance the delivery of primary care as the essential first point of contact between people and the healthcare system. We consider topics from public health promotion, preventative interventions, and the management of all common health needs throughout the lifespan, such as infectious diseases, mental health, and reproductive health.

Join us—Yaiza del Pozo Martín, Editor-in-Chief, as well as Jessica Smith and Lauren Southwell, Senior Editors—for this Lancet Webinar, during which you will learn about the journal's aims and scope, what we are looking for in a research paper, and best practices to prepare your manuscript for publication in The Lancet Primary Care. Our discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, where we will answer your questions.

Whether you are an existing author or are thinking of submitting to The Lancet Group for the first time, we are committed to supporting you on whatever stage of your publication journey you find yourself.
