Axbridge and Wedmore Medical Practice

RESEARCH

Research is a key principle of the NHS to improve the current and future health and care of the population. Research involving patients and members of the public leads to results that are more reliable and therefore more likely to be put into practice.

We want patients and the public to be involved in all stages of research. This covers:

Setting research priorities
Helping to decide what the research needs to achieve
Choosing the methods used to carry out research
Recruiting people into research studies
Understanding what the research findings mean for patients and how it can be utilised in Primary Care

The team consists of:

Patients currently registered with the Axbridge & Wedmore Medical Practice may be invited to join studies if they meet the strict eligibility criteria. Patients will be fully informed about any study before they consent to take part in any research.
