Clinical Research

Did you know that clinical research takes place at this GP Practice?

We’re proud to give our patients the opportunity to take part in research here so that together we can develop new treatments and medicines for the future.

There are many different types of research available for people to take part in, and the overwhelming majority of people have a positive experience of research.

Last year, more people took part in research in primary care settings (such as GP Practices) in the East Midlands than any other part of England. Join them and help us to improve healthcare.
