đŹ We Are a Research Active Practice
Our practice takes part in research to help improve care for patients now and in the future. By being a research active practice, we help find better treatments and improve health for everyone.
Sometimes we invite patients to take part in research. If you are invited, youâll be given clear information to help you decide.
Taking part is always your choice, and saying no will not affect your care.
We want to support research that includes and represents our whole community. This helps make care better and fairer for everyone.

đŻTiger Study: Helping Children with Eczema
The TIGER study is looking at how diet might help babies and toddlers with eczema. Itâs for children under 2 years old.Â
Researchers want to see if avoiding certain foods (like milk, egg, wheat, and soya) based on allergy tests can improve eczema.Â
Children in the study are put into one of two groups:Â
– One gets usual eczema care.Â
– The other gets usual care plus diet advice based on allergy tests.Â
This will help doctors learn if food tests are useful in treating eczema in very young children.Â
