Research

We are committed to supporting research that helps improve healthcare, develop new treatments and improve services for our patients.

From time to time, our practice may take part in research studies. If you are eligible for a particular study, you may be invited to take part. You will be given information about the study before deciding whether you would like to participate.

Taking part in research is voluntary. Choosing not to take part will not affect your care or treatment in any way.

Use of your health information

Information from your health records may be used to support research and improve health and care services. You have a choice about whether your confidential patient information is used for research and planning purposes.
