Research

Across the Christchurch PCN we take part in research commissioned by the NHS to help improve patient care and treatment.

Why is Christchurch PCN taking part in research studies?

 Research trials are being conducted throughout the NHS and has helped us to understand more about disease prevention, treatment and cure.  Running research in a GP practices is essential to further develop medical understanding and improve healthcare for patients now and also for future generations.   Taking part in research is completely voluntary and you have the right to withdraw from at study at anytime if you feel it is not right for you. This would not impact on any of the medical care you receive.

What could I be asked to do if I take part in a research trial?

 Each trial conducted looks at a particular area of healthcare, you may be asked to complete questionnaires, taking part in interviews, collecting information about certain conditions to learn more about them or trialling a new intervention or treatment or any combination of the above!

Taking part in research is completely voluntary and you have the right to withdraw from at study at anytime if you feel it is not right for you. This would not impact on any of the medical care you receive.

Eligibility and Taking Part

If you might be eligible to take part in a research trial we are running we may contact you by sending you a text message, phoning you or sending you some information in the post about the trial.  Taking part in any research trial is completely voluntary and it will not impact your care.  You can also withdraw from a research trial at any time if you feel it is not right for you.
