Intervention studies

Use of data from the Patron data repository to identify practices or patient participants for studies or trials that seek to interact with patients or GPs, requires prior consent from general practices. Examples of intervention studies could include inviting practices that have certain characteristics (or patients with certain characteristics) to be part of: clinical trials; studies that develop and test new healthcare practices, procedures, protocols or quality improvement measures; or projects developing decision support tools for evidence-based care and appropriate prescribing.
