Research

We are part of the Bristol Primary Care Research and Developement Consortium. We will not reveal patient details to researchers unless the patient has given consent or the data is anoymised. All research which involves patients, users or care professionals or their organs, tissue or data is referred to independent ethical review to safeguard the dignity, rights, saftey and well-being of the participants.

Training Practice
In May 2007 the practice became a GP training practice. This means that newly qualified doctors who wish to become a GP can come and train for a year.

Medical Students
Our practice has links to the University of Bristol Medical School. Medical students are sometimes attached to the practice, but you will always be asked if you are happy for the student to sit in with your doctor.
