This website is for researchers and primary care health professionals looking for digital solutions to help them deliver research in primary care settings. You will find details of the CRN PRIDES service and how our service can to lead to improved research outcomes. You will find helpful information about Health Informatics (HIs), links to our local PRIDES Sharing Platforms and a searchable database of NIHR Portfolio Studies using HIs. You will also find useful information about research coding and data sharing, as well as workforce development opportunities, resources and guidance to help enhance research delivery in Primary Care settings.  

These searches have been built based on the protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria with assistance from our GP Locality Leads in Wessex and other LCRNs. 

Whilst every effort has been made to maintain the search and keep this up to date it is the responsibility of the Independent Contractor to review this search and amend as necessary for your practice. The search should be used in conjunction with clinical oversight. You may wish to edit the criteria if you do not code for something. 

The searches can be used to help with assessing feasibility and to create your list of potential participants. Please do not mailout to any patients until you have confirmed participation and sign off with the study team/sponsor. 

We would welcome your feedback on these searches - if you add a criteria (ie you know you could identify based on a prescription) then please let us know (studysupport5.crnwessex@nihr.ac.uk).
