Station House Surgery is proud to be a Research active organisation- we are part of a network of local practices participating in high quality research activities funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network- North West Coast (CRN) https://local.nihr.ac.uk/lcrn/north-west-coast/
As a practice we believe research is a vitally important aspect of the high standard of care we provide to our patients. The NHS Constitution (2015)states Research is a core function of the NHS- it is a major driver of innovation and central to NHS practice for maintaining and developing high standards of patient care
