In a competitive field, it is a fantastic achievement!

Research Lead, Dr James Kennard, has said “I’m delighted that the research team at BCHC has received this award. We have worked hard to grow the research activities at the practice over the past 4 years and feel that the opportunities available to our patients through participating in research studies is hugely valuable to them as well as to the wider public in helping to improve diagnosis, investigation and treatment of health conditions.

I am very proud of the multidisciplinary team we have involved in research at the practice including administrative staff, nurses, GPs and pharmacists. This award is a wonderful recognition of the tremendous contribution our research team makes with support from the practice team both locally and nationally to the NIHR research portfolio.”
