We are a Research Practice

Participation in any research is on an invitation basis only. No personal data is shared with the Research group unless the patient has consented to participate. Any searches to identify eligible patients are run by the staff at the Practice, and invitations to participate are sent out by us. Invited patients can respond and agree to take part, and this is the first point when the identity of the patient becomes known to the researcher.

During 2019/2020, we have been involved with the PULSE AI Research Project. It is a project to see if it would be possible to predict an increased risk for atrial fibrillation in patients before they had symptoms. It has been a very interesting project with some very positive outcomes.
