uMed Research

Our partnership with the uMed research platform

Poole Town Surgery is currently working with a research technology partner known as uMed. Their accredited platform enables us to provide you with research opportunities that
are highly relevant to your health circumstances.

Without the use of uMed’s technology we may not have the time to find and engage patients that meet the requirements of the studies. This would therefore mean many patients would
miss out on their chance to participate in ground-breaking research.

For further information on uMed please visit their website at umed.io or email patientsupport@umed.io

Supporting Research Activity

Poole Town Surgery uses Umedeor Ltd (uMed) as a data processor to support research and care support activity. This includes accessing and secure hosting of health record data
for the purpose of identifying patients that are eligible for specific research or care support projects. uMed also contacts those patients on behalf of the practice via SMS, letter, email or telephone to provide more information about the study, and to collect additional information to assess your eligibility for a certain study.

Your consent will be required before any practice data is shared externally with researchers. uMed applies the national opt-out to practice data it receives so if you wish your data is not
processed for research you can do so by visiting Your NHS data matters
