Benefits for GP practices joining MRES:
Protecting patient data
IQVIA operates a robust Information Governance framework to ensure compliance with all legal, regulatory and NHS requirements including policies covering data protection, confidentiality, information security and records management and ethics. IQVIA has developed a framework for managing non-identified patient level datasets to ensure maximum utility whilst respecting the privacy of individual patients and their data subject rights.

Patients that would like to opt out of MRES can contact their GP practice and no data will be used for research. Alternatively, patients in England can opt-out via the national data opt-out policy https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/
