Welcome to Devizes
Primary Care Network

We are currently involved in a research programme called the IQVIA Medical Research Extraction Scheme (MRES), a commercial enterprise for which we provide non-identified information from patients’ electronic medical records. The data collected does NOT include any direct patient identifiers such as names, addresses, NHS numbers, or full dates of birth, nor any direct identifiers of practices participating in this data collection scheme. The data is used by researchers outside our practices for scientifically approved research into such topics as: Epidemiology & Pharmacoepidemiology, Drug Safety & Risk Management, Public Health Research, Drug Utilisation Studies, Outcomes Research and Health Economics Research / Resource Utilisation. Additionally, the data may be used for treatment analysis to provide insights into patient, disease, and prescribing profiles. If you would like to opt out of this scheme, please let your practice know, and no data from your records will be utilised for research. This will not affect your care in any way.
