Clinical Practice Research Data Link (CPRD)

This Practice Contributes to the Clinical Practice Research Data Link

Information in patient records is important for medical research to develop new treatments and test the safety of medicines. This practice supports medical research by sending some of the information from the patient record to the Clinical Practice Research Data Link (CPRD).

CPRD is a Government organisation that provides anonymised patient data for research to improve patient and public health. Identifiable data flows to NHS Digital but you cannot be identified from the information sent to CPRD.

If you do not want anonymised information from your patient record to be used in research you can opt out by speaking to your doctor.
