Why research?
We believe that conducting research not only generates vital new knowledge, but it can also be beneficial for patients, both now and in the future. By researching the causes, courses and treatment of diseases/health problems, the knowledge and understanding we gain, is likely to benefit all patients.
Research – Moving forward
Patients are at the centre of our research work. We ensure that the research we support is relevant to and benefits those who use primary care services. If you would like to find out more about the Primary Care Research Network, go to:

In addition, every year, the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) asks thousands of research participants to share their experiences of taking part in research.
Through the Participant in Research Experience Survey (PRES), the NIHR aims to put participant experience at the heart of research delivery – helping to improve the way research studies are designed and delivered, now and in the future.
At Price’s Mill Surgery, we strive to uphold a high standard of research and your feedback to the NIHR RDN is valuable so that we can maintain this high standard.
