Our practice is research active.
All NHS organisations are expected to participate and support health and care research.
Conducting high-quality clinical research helps us to keep improving NHS care by finding out which treatments work best.
If you are asked about taking part in research, usually someone in the care team looking after you will contact you. People in your care team may look at your health records to check whether you are suitable to take part in a research study, before asking you whether you are interested or sending you a letter on behalf of the researcher.
For more information about how your information may be used in research and your rights please visit https://www.hra.nhs.uk/information-about-patients/
This practice is part of a network of General Practices in the East of England who host medical research on a regular basis. The network is called Primary Care Research Network – East of England.
You may be approached by a member of this practice to help participate in a research project. Please consider patient information about the research carefully. This information may be sent to you or given to you by your doctor or nurse or other health professionals to consider.
Anyone registered with this practice could help shape the future of healthcare by considering and helping with research projects that you may be invited to participate in. Participation in any research is voluntary. You may refuse to take part in research without it affecting your usual medical care.

Staff taking part in research at the practice are trained in Good Clinical Practice and the site is accredited as “Research Ready”.
