Why do we do Research here?
- Research is crucial to help us discover new knowledge and change lives
- It is through research that we can develop better treatments, as well as improve diagnosis, prevention, care and quality of life for everyone
- All medical devices and medication currently used today have had to go through clinical trials to deem them safe and fit to use
- It helps the practice to access funding and resources that can benefit our patients directly
Who we work with
- National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)
- The NIHR fund, enable and deliver world leading health and social care research. Established in 2006 and working in partnership with NHS, universities and local government
- Helping to shape NHS research. Used in 1000s of instances to shape health and care policy
Is Research safe?
- Each stage of research study has to go through ethical policy
- Research is voluntary and should always involve gaining informed consent
- Patient confidentiality is maintained at all times
