Primary Care

We are working with researchers and primary care practitioners such as GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists and dentists to promote the successful delivery of research studies in the NHS.

We support a wide range of research including studies which look at:

Promoting a healthier lifestyle
Disease diagnosis and prevention
Management of long-term illnesses such as diabetes or hypertension
Prevention of future ill-health
Treating common conditions such as tonsillitis or influenza

Where there are considerable overlaps with other specialty areas, for example diabetes, mental health and cardiovascular disease, we work closely with our colleagues from across the network to deliver high quality research in a primary care setting.

Find studies taking place at your local GP practice, pharmacy or other primary care settings using the map below:
