Community

We are a team of experienced Community Research Nurses based at the Edinburgh Clinical Research Facility in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. We support a wide variety of research projects within primary care across a diverse range of clinical specialities.

We collaborate closely with the Scottish Primary Care Research Network (SPCRN) in order to facilitate both GP surgery and patient recruitment and have developed excellent working relationships with GP surgeries and the wider multi disciplinary team.

We will arrange and conduct study visits in the participants' own homes, GP surgeries and schools as well as other hospitals throughout the Lothians, Borders and Fife. We frequently travel further afield when required. We are flexible and accommodating to individual study and participant requirements and conduct study visits from recruitment to follow up and study completion.
