The breadth and depth of primary care research has recently been summarised in a review of research registered on the UK Clinical Research Network database. The report has identified areas of strength and important potential activity gaps. The next stage in making the information useful to people, patients, policymakers clinicians and researchers is to decide which questions which might fill the gaps should be prioritised. Draft Report

SPCRN Guidance for Researchers
ReSeT Guidance Documents
New guidance (ReSeT) to replace ARCO (Attributing the revenue costs of extrernally-funded non-commercial research in the NHS) was issued in March 2010 with a planned implementation date of September 2010. In May, following consultation between the English Department of Health (DH) and research funding partners on the implementability of the new guidance, it was decided not to proceed with implementation. DH intends to continue discussion with its partners to agree on an approach that builds on the original principles of attribution set out in 1997. A meeting will be held in September between the 4 health departments to discuss the way forward. CSO is committed to reaching a national, workable resolution to this matter and will keep key stakleholders informed of developments. In the meantime, the existing ARCO guidance should continue to be consulted.
