The Unit
has well over 10 years experience of conducting trials for pharmaceutical
companies and the Medical Research Council as part of the General Practice
Research Framework.
These trials have involved a diverse range of
therapeutic areas including diabetes, asthma, cardiology, dermatology, gastro
intestinal disorders, arthritis, hyperlipidaemia, contraception and depression.
We have
worked with many companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Astra Zeneca,
Novartis, MSD and Schering Plough.
Academic
bodies that have utilised the Unit include the University of Birmingham,
University of Glasgow, Imperial College London, the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Diabetic Trials Unit at Oxford.
Some
patients may receive a letter inviting them to participate in a clinical trial.
Participation is entirely voluntary and non-participation will not affect your
care in any way. If you are invited, and have questions you would like to ask,
our Research & Development nurse (Kate O'Brien), will be pleased to answer your
questions.
If you
receive an invitation to participate in a study and do not want to participate,
please call Kate O'Brien on 01933 234 038.
