'Research makes the practice feel positive'
(anonymous quote – Primary Care Academy 2022)

Welcome to the NIHR Clinical Research Network South West Peninsula (CRN SWP) Primary Care Research website. The aim of the website is to support practices new to research, by providing a step by step guide explaining how to get involved in research. For RSI practices, please use the website as a toolkit of resources to support your research activity.  The website is designed to assist anyone involved in supporting NIHR funded research in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.

Research is an essential part of developing modern medicine, and with general practice at the forefront of patient care, it’s vital that GPs and our teams are spearheading studies with the aim to make things better for our patients, staff, and the wider NHS."

Dr Nick Thomas, Clinical Champion for Clinical Research at the Royal College of GPs
