Network description
Optimum Patient Care is a social enterprise supporting medical research and services to improve the diagnosis,treatment and care of chronic diseases within Primary Care.
As a result of our comprehensive network of over 600 GP surgeries in the UK,we can deliver Primary Care research support and bespoke data sets for academic research,extracted as IG-Compliant data extractions from our partner practices. The Optimum Patient Care Research Database forms one of the largest respiratory databases in the world.
