RCGP research ready accreditation practice
Our practice is one of over 1900 practices in England contributing pseudonymised data for
national research and surveillance. We are part of the East Midlands regional research surveillance network.
This data enables continuous monitoring of infections and diseases in the community and is
used in ethically approved research. The Oxford-RCGP RSC is the main source of information for the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and helps with prediction and management of flu outbreaks and pandemics.
Providing pseudonymised data does not affect patients, their care, or privacy. However, if
you no longer wish to allow your information to be used, please speak to your GP.
The pseudonymised data, extracted by an information service providers, Magentus Software and Egton Medical Information Systems (EMIS), is processed within the private and secure ORCHID network of the Clinical Informatics and Health Outcomes Research Group at the University of Oxford under a formal data sharing agreement. The pseudonymised data may be linked with other NHS data for analysis, including hospital episode statistics.
