Strengthening primary care requires primary care professionals capable of addressing the complex and changing needs of a diverse patient population in a changing context of professional workforce and workplace organization. Within this project proposal, ‘primary care’ consistently involves health and social care as a unit of two interdependent domains of caring. 
A strong primary care organization and workforce is key to a high-quality healthcare system. Training professionals in healthcare and welfare to work in primary care therefore is fundamental. Educational systems have adopted competency-based curriculum development that is based on discipline-specific competency frameworks. Many programs have included primary care courses or modules. These focus on specific topics relevant to primary care but are not working towards specific primary care competencies as these have not yet sufficiently been studied and identified.  
Within this research line we aim to:  

* Describe the primary care Landscape of Practice and the primary care patient trajectories  
* Develop a core set of primary care generic and collaborative competencies and to define the concept of a primary care identity.  
* Describe the primary care teams’ experiences with contextual variables influencing their joint workflow. Context refers to both the internal context (practice organization) and external context (interaction of practice with the wider health and social care field) 

The core set of primary care generic and collaborative competencies will be implemented within educational institutions throughout the lifelong learning continuum of primary care professionals. This core set will equally serve primary care professionals in practice as guidance for reflexive practice and interprofessional workplace learning.
