Research for the Future - How Can You Help?

At Whittington Moor Surgery, we are proud to be a research-active practice. Participating in clinical research and disease surveillance helps to develop new treatments and medicines for the future. There are different types of research that patients can take part in. If we invite you to take part in a study, please consider doing so. A recent survey found that most participants report a positive experience after taking part in research studies.

** PRIVATE WORK SUSPENDED ** 

Due to overwhelming demands on the NHS service we cannot accept any non-NHS / private work until further notice

It is our aim to create a place where we provide the best care possible for our patients within the constraints of the NHS; where we are supported, have time to reflect and allow ideas to flourish and be realised.

All of these will enhance the experience of our patients, staff, colleagues and local community. It is our aspiration that all staff will know that they are valued, and their work contributes to providing the highest quality of care possible.

We aim to manage the practice in a financially responsible manner.
