How we use patient information

Previous projects and published work

The research team in SCAS is responsible for overseeing all clinical research projects undertaken by the Trust. We have strong links with our neighbouring acute trusts through the local research network and with the other UK ambulance services via national networks. This enables us to hear about the latest research projects and get involved from the early stages.

We have been involved in large scale research trials including PARAMEDIC (the Prehospital Randomised Assessment of a Mechanical Device In Cardiac arrest) which received the prestigious accolade of ‘Trial of the Year 2014’ awarded by The Society for Clinical Trials.

You can see our performance in initiating and delivering clinical research documents on the NIHR website. The NIHR Privacy Notice provides further information on why and how we collect and use personal data as part of research activity, and provides information about individuals’ rights.
