Research

Clinical research is essential for advancing patient care and innovation in the NHS. It provides patients with access to new treatments and interventions, leading to better and more cost-effective care. South Reading and the Shinfield Practice participate in research through the NIHR Thames Valley and South Midlands network.

The NIHR is the UK's largest health and care research funder, partnering with the NHS, universities, local governments, and others to deliver transformative research that improves lives, boosts economic growth, and advances science.
