Research

At our medical practice, our commitment to exceptional patient care goes beyond mere observation of research findings. We are dedicated to actively engaging in cutting-edge research endeavours. By staying at the forefront of medical innovation, we strive to provide you with the most advanced and effective healthcare solutions available.

Projects and Participation

Our practice is part of the General Practice Research and Education Network (GPREN). This network is a vibrant community of practices engaging in primary care research supported by the General Practice Academic Unit (GPAU) and the Graduate School of Medicine (GSM) University of Wollongong (UOW).

At our practice, our research encompasses various activities, and occasionally, you may receive invitations to participate. This could involve completing forms, conversing with a researcher, or granting access to your medical records. It is essential to understand that your participation in any study is entirely voluntary. Declining participation will not affect the quality of care provided by your doctor. Moreover, rest assured that any research involving our patients undergoes rigorous ethical scrutiny by an accredited ethics committee.

Certain research initiatives entail utilising the medical data collected during patient care. We prioritise the confidentiality of this data by de-identifying it before use, ensuring it's not linked to personal information. Transfer of identified health data outside our practice only occurs with informed patient consent. Your trust in our commitment to safeguarding your health information is upheld through adherence to National Privacy Principles. We do not disclose your details to pharmaceutical companies or any third parties for marketing purposes.

Should you choose to engage in our projects, we express our sincere gratitude. Even if you opt not to participate, rest assured that our practice remains at the forefront of groundbreaking research aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of individuals worldwide.
