We are looking for women aged 18 years or over, who have had two or more urine infections (UTIs / cystitis) in the last six months, or three in the last 12 months, to take part in this study.
The study involves taking either a type of sugar (d-Mannose, a naturally occurring sugar found in fruit such as cranberries, apples, and oranges), or a placebo (harmless dummy), to see if it is effective at preventing further infections, and if it helps to avoid having to use antibiotic.
If you are interested in taking part in the study, please complete this form or contact the surgery for an information pack.
We are looking for adult men who have troublesome urinary symptoms. These symptoms may include needing to pee frequently, difficulty passing urine, getting up at night to use the toilet, or poor flow.
The aims of the PriMUS study is to create a ‘decision aid’ to help GPs find the most likely cause of patients’ urinary symptoms, so that together they can choose the best treatment. We believe that this will have many benefits such as getting the right treatment sooner, avoiding unnecessary hospital visits, and getting those who need to be seen by a specialist there more quickly.
You can read more about the study on the PRiMUS website and if you’d like to take part please let the surgery know.
This study is looking for patients with Type 2 Diabetes, who currently take metformin but whose blood glucose (sugar / HbA1c) is too high and need to start an extra medication. It hopes to look at the effectiveness of a medication called Dapagliflozin compared to other anti-diabetic medications.
Patients who choose to take part are randomly allocated to either take the medication called ‘Dapagliflozin’ or any other diabetic medication.
If you would like to take part, please discuss this during your routine diabetic review appointment.
