"Spring Hall Medical Centre and the Rycroft clinical pharmacy team did a fantastic job in recruiting patients and carers for the CANAssess Study, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research. The study will provide valuable insights into how to support people with a diagnosis of cancer in general practice. The team has ensured that their patients got an opportunity to take part in and benefit from this research."

"Since 2021, we have been working closely with Rycroft Health Associates and Spring Hall Group Practice for patient recruitment in clinical research studies. Their collaboration has been instrumental in advancing clinical research, particularly in cardiovascular studies, where we have seen strong patient engagement. Their support in facilitating patient participation has been invaluable, making them a trusted and essential partner in our mission to improve healthcare through clinical research. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership and furthering our shared commitment to medical advancement in the years to come"
