The practice works with the PCRN (Primary Care Research Network) which is part of the NHS National Institute for Health Research to conduct high quality research. Each study has ethical and scientific approval and addresses a significant issue for patients’ benefit. The topics chosen come from a full range of problems encountered in primary care.
In the early part of this year, Edgwick has already hosted a research team for a study on Blood Pressure in Ethnic Minorities. Following the success of this venture, the practice has committed to more studies. The practice recognises the value of continuous development in medicine and its commitment to research is a testament to this.
