Research Practice

Our practice is research active and invites patients to take part in trials to find new ways of diagnosing and treating health conditions.

Conducting high-quality clinical research helps us to keep improving NHS care by finding out which treatments work best.

We may send texts or letters out if you are suitable for any study.

How we use your data

We may use third parties such as Docmail or similar companies to reduce the costs of sending you this letter and they may receive your name and address to send this letter on our behalf as our data processor.
