Research

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

We work closely with the Primary Care Research Network (PCRN) to implement research studies with the aim of helping GPs and nurses to improve patient care. 

We’re proud to give our patients the opportunity to take part in carefully selected research studies that we feel will be relevant to our patients, so 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.

To find out more about taking part in research here, please speak to a member of staff at your GP Practice.

Alternatively, you can search for research taking place near you here.

The FLASH Study

The FLASH study is investigating the efficacy and safety of a new investigational medication (Atuliflapon) in adults with moderate to severe uncontrolled asthma.

Our partnership with uMed research platform

Pinfold Medical Practice is currently working with a research technology partner known as uMed. Their accredited platform enables us to provide you with research opportunities that are highly relevant to your health circumstances.

Without the use of uMed’s technology we may not have the time to find and engage patients that meet the requirements of the studies. This would therefore mean many patients would miss out on their chance to participate in ground-breaking research.

For further information on uMed please visit their website at www.umed.io or email paitentsupport@umed.io
