Healthcare research is very wide ranging. Many studies simply want to know more about how you cope with a particular problem whilst others are looking for patients with a particular diagnosis to help assess the effectiveness of a different treatment. As a patient of The Village Surgery you may be contacted from time to time to be invited to take part in some of these research studies. If you do not wish to be contacted about research opportunities please e-mail us at [email protected] to let us know.
