Patient Involvement

 

The Hadleigh Practice Patient Participation Group (PPG) 

Would you like to have more of a voice at your GP Practice?

Would you like to have a better understanding of how the practice is run?

We act as the patients 'Voice' in seeking to influence the service which the GP Practice gives to its community. We consult with the GP Practice on the development and provision of the community needs. We contribute to and are kept informed of GP Practice decisions.

To find out more about the PPG please visit the Hadleigh Practice Patient Participation Group page

Current research study

INAS NESS Study

A 2 year observational study looking at safety of certain contraceptive pills.

What you (the patient) needs to do:

  • Complete and sign the Informed Consent Form.
  • Complete the baseline questionnaire.
  • Complete a follow-up questionnaire at 6 months, at 12 months, at 18 months and at 24 months after you start the study using an online portal called ‘Greenlight Guru Clinical’

Each questionnaire contains questions on:

  • your use of the COCP
  • any health problems/symptoms you have experienced during that period.

Why do it?

  1. To help research in providing information on medication safety
  2. Patients also get vouchers from the study centre: £20 for completing the baseline questionnaire, and then £10 for each subsequent (another 4 in total)

If you are thinking of starting a contraceptive pill and interested, please discuss this with your GP.

SAFE-D study

Have you recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?

Would you like to be part of research to help improve early detection of pancreatic cancer?

SAFE-D is a new clinical study aiming to help improve the early detection of pancreatic cancer. People diagnosed with diabetes have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer, which has no obvious symptoms in the early stages.

If you are aged 50-84 and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last 6 months, you may be eligible to take part.

The study involves having a simple blood test which will be analysed in a laboratory.
