Research is a key principle of the NHS to improve the current and future health and care of the population. Research that involves patients and members of the public leads to results that are more reliable and therefore more likely to be put into practice. Patients currently registered with Wells City Practice may be invited to join studies if they meet the strict eligibility criteria. Patients will be fully informed about any study before they consent to take part in any research.
We want patients and the public to be involved in all stages of research. This covers:
The Research team at Wells City Practice:
Dr Ruth Donlevy - GP Research Lead
Helen Clough, CRN; South West Peninsula Community Research Nurse,
h.clough@nhs.net Tel: 01458 84 11 22
The Clinical Trials Gateway is a useful Research Resource.
How do you think health data should be shared and used? Have your say – your views are important!
The University of Cambridge CLIMB team are interested in peoples' views on consent and information sharing between NHS services. If you are interested in taking part in their anonymous survey then please follow this link Climb Project website.
The survey is voluntary and takes 15-20 mins but you can take a break.
Please see this poster about how to access the survey and how you think health data should be shared and used.
We know that often men are worried about the impact of their abusive behaviour on their female partner or ex-partners, but that it can be difficult to get help to stop behaving this way.
We also know that although there is limited evidence to suggest that group domestic violence prevention programmes work, there is not enough evidence to make sure that local councils will fund these programmes.
We want to test these programmes, so we can see if they really do help men and improve safety for their partners, ex-partners, and for children.
See this poster about REPROVIDE and this discusses why it is not OK to hurt your partner
