BUCKDEN SURGERY NEWS
WE ARE A RESEARCH ACTIVE PRACTICE
We have recently been accredited by the Royal
College of General Practitioners (RCGP), as
‘Research Ready’ so we are able to participate
in research studies that Primary Care Research
Network (PCRN) offers to benefit the wider
community in the long term.
To become research ready the practice has
completed
an
online
self-accreditation
questionnaire which covers the minimum
requirements of The Research Governance
Framework for Health and Social Care,
Department of Health (2005). The accreditation
has been developed by the Royal College of
General Practitioners in conjunction with the
National Institute of Health Research (NIHR)
and the PCRN.
The Primary Care Research Network East of
England (PCRN EoE) is one of a family of
national research networks working together
with the Comprehensive Local Research
Networks to provide a wide range of support to
the local research community. Our Practice
participates in research activity and works
closely with the PCRN EoE, creating more
opportunities for more patients to be involved in
research should they wish.
No studies are compulsory and patients may
decline any invitation to join a study.
