Research projects in the practice are led by Dr Mackenzie. The Practice is part of the Thames Valley Research  Partnership and we do take part in various research projects that are supported by the Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust. We believe we owe it to our patients to support research that will improve patient care but assure you that your care will not be compromised should you prefer to decline to participate in any research programme. We do not generally take part in drug trials.

We do use our computer records to identify patients who may be suitable participants in a particular research project, but we do not supply any information about a patient without the specific consent of that patient. We therefore could write to you asking if you wish to take part in a research project.
