🔬 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, you’ll 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.

đź’‰Get Involved in Vaccine Research
Interested in helping shape the future of vaccines?
The Vaccine & Testing Research Team at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston (UHBW) is looking for volunteers to join their database.
By signing up, you’ll be informed about opportunities to take part in adult vaccine trials and receive updates on research findings.
Signing up doesn’t commit you to taking part—just to being kept in the loop.
