The Practice is research accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners and undertakes clinical studies.
You may be asked to join in with research studies but taking part is voluntary and you do not have to take part.
Any research will be explained to you and you will have time to decide whether or not to take part. If you change your mind you can stop at any time.
Research projects may not benefit you directly but will influence care for future patients and with your help can make a big difference.
