• Pan European Region Practice Based Research Network (PER PBRN)

• The UK Clinical Research Network (UKPCRN) was established to support clinical research and to facilitate the conduct of trials and other well-designed studies across the UK.

   

• Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) -The RCGP has developed Research Ready to encourage more GPs and practices to carry out studies. The scheme is a web-based programme which helps GP practices assess their ability to carry out quality research including making sure the practice is aware of its responsibilities when conducting studies.

• BDA's Primary Care Dentistry Research Forum is a new initiative from the British Dental Association to promote discussion between primary care dentists on research.
