Examples of ways to promote research within your practice:
Practice website - A website template is available and practices can ‘pick and choose’ sections from the Practice Website Guidance Document for use on their practice website.
Posters - display these on practice notice boards in waiting rooms and corridors (see below).
Leaflets - in waiting rooms and/or on reception desk areas, see below regarding obtaining a supply of leaflets for your practice.
Template slides displayed via electronic screens (if available) - in patient waiting areas. Information is available from the East of England RRDN Hub Home website.
Research champions on the Patient Participation Group (PPG) - to ensure that research is on their meeting agenda at least once annually.
Patient Experience Questionnaire - invite patients to complete a research for studies. Reports on the findings can be found on the East of England RRDN website.
Practice specific 'information sheet about research appointments’ - send out to patients in order to help provide practical information to those patients invited to take part in research studies. Details will include: flexible appointments, car parking facilities, longer appointment time etc. or as appropriate for your practice.
A statement in the footer of practice headed paper and/or prescriptions - to inform that you are a research active practice.
