New study guidance! Collecting Primary Care Data on Research Participants

PCRN EoE has produced a document intending to help study teams who recruit participants in secondary care, community care or other research units, but who need to either access data, or carry out some additional research activity in Primary Care.

The guidance aims to help study teams plan their work and explain how PCRN-EoE can help with the Primary Care component in order to streamline this process.

The guidance and further information about how the PCRN can assist study teams is available from our 'How we can help' page.
