Health Research

Queen Square Medical Practice is a research active practice, affiliated with Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) About RCGP . This means we actively support and conduct different types of research with the intention of improving outcomes for patients. New treatments, technologies, care approaches and devices all need to be carefully and safely tested in real life healthcare environments. Clinical research in these environments is separately funded and adds value to patient care. All clinical research undertaken at our practice is thoroughly checked and approved by ethical committees, to ensure it is safe to perform.

Data protection is very important to us and we strictly follow GDPR guidelines. For more information please use the link below:
