Join the UK's Most Active Primary Care Research Network
We are always looking for motivated GP practices, community trusts, and hospices that want to do more research — and be well supported and well paid for it. Register your interest below and we will be in touch.
For GP Practices, Community Trusts & Hospices
- Access funded commercial research matched to your patient population and specialist interests
- Give patients early access to new treatments, devices, and innovations
- Additional revenue stream — commercial rates, alongside your existing NIHR activity
- All study equipment sourced and supplied — no capital outlay required
- Experienced CFO handles all financial aspects of studies
- Flexible participation — from a single case study to full clinical trial delivery
For Other Patient Care Providers
We also welcome affiliate membership from a wide range of patient-facing providers who work in the UK — including secondary care sites — and have an interest and experience in clinical research. Our affiliate member group is part of an inclusive community working together to increase UK clinical research activity and offer more research opportunities to patients.
- Affiliate membership of the Primary Care Research Alliance
- We'll contact you if there is work we think you can do that our primary care sites are unable to
- Introductions to sponsors when your site is a good fit for their study
- A simple sign-up: a short paragraph about your organisation and any patient population numbers
For Secondary Care Providers
We are sometimes asked by sponsors to suggest secondary care sites. Hospital research teams and clinical research facilities can leave their details and the sort of studies they can take on, and we'll share them with sponsors so they can contact you directly. There is no charge for introductions, and no recommendation is made.

We welcome applications from CQC-registered GP practices, community trusts, and hospices. Research experience is preferred but we offer training to upskill. More important is a motivated team, appropriate patient populations, and a genuine commitment to doing excellent work.
All new members are assessed for infrastructure, patient demographics, and research readiness before being matched to studies.
