DO YOU WANT TO TAKE PART IN A RESEARCH STUDY AND HELP PROTECT YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY AGAINST VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES?   

• Were you born in a country other than the UK, or do you identify as being from a Mixed, Black, Asian, or Other (non-White) ethnic group?    
• Are you aged 16 years or older?   
• Would you like to take an active role in research that may influence primary care policy and help improve your own and your community’s health?  
  
  The Vacc on Track study is running at GP surgeries in London. If you are interested, staff at your GP surgery can check your vaccination history and refer you for any vaccines and boosters needed to protect you against vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, diphtheria and polio. This service is completely free and can be done during a short telephone conversation with a trained nurse.    
  
  If you were born overseas or come from an ethnic minority community and are aged 16 years or over, you may be eligible to take part. In return you will play an important part in a research study and be helping to look after your own and your community’s health.

 This Practice is a Research Active Practice

 We regularly participate in research studies that have been approved by the National Institute for Health Research (NiHR) and which have Ethical Approval.

You may be contacted by the practice from time to time, asking if you would like to participate in a research study. All studies are approved by the GPs in the practice. You will always have the opportunity to discuss any study with your GP and are under no obligation to participate. You have the right to let us know if you would prefer not to be contacted for research purposes, please let the practice know if this is the case.

Health research is important, it allows individuals to share their experience of specific diseases and healthcare, and it helps with the development of new technology and treatments to improve the future health and treatment of the wider population.
