The practice team are delighted that Much Birch Surgery is now a research active practice linked to the Clinical Research Network.

We work in close collaboration with a team of GPs, research nurses and facilitators based in Warwick Medical School. If a patient is eligible to join a research study running in our practice, a GP or other healthcare professional will provide written information. Taking part in a research study is voluntary and can be beneficial to patients who participate in them.

Examples of research projects include:

•          investigating respiratory infections
•          management of heart failure
•          how to increase physical activity
•          finding out whether low dose aspirin helps people with Type 2 diabetes
•          ways to help people stop smoking
•          the use of self-monitoring of blood pressure

Our GP Research Lead within the practice is Dr Horne
