General Practice Research
Research is a key principle of the NHS to improve the current and future health and care of the population. Research that involves patients and members of the public leads to results that are more reliable and therefore more likely to be put into practice. Patients currently registered with Vine Surgery Partnership may be invited to join studies if they meet the strict eligibility criteria. Patients will be fully informed about any study before they consent to take part in any research.
We want patients and the public to be involved in all stages of research. This covers:
- Setting research priorities
- Recruiting people into research studies
- Understanding what the research findings mean for patients and how it can be utilised in Primary Care

INTERACT Study
Identifying the Prevalence of Social Isolation and Loneliness in the Community Setting Across England.
Feeling socially isolated or lonely has been associated with physical and mental health impacts, as well as wider economic and societal implications.
Attempts and previous questionnaires have been conducted to assess knowledge, attitudes and perceptions (KAP) towards social isolation & loneliness (SI&L), though it seems that the incidence of SI&L is increasing. Furthermore, little is known about the prevalence and state of SI&L in localities within the UK.
We aim to investigate the prevalence of social isolation & loneliness (SI&L) at local authority level across England using the UCLA Loneliness Scale & the Direct Measure of Loneliness.
