Medical Research Extraction Scheme (MRES)

IQVIA has set up a patient data collection and research scheme called the Medical Research Extraction Scheme (MRES). The scheme collects non-identified coded patient electronic health record (EHR) data directly from GP practices across the UK for research purposes. In the UK, IQVIA has collected and supported the research use of non-identified patient data for over 25 years. Many GP practices are already participating in MRES and contributing non-identified patient data to IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD), an NHS Health Research Authority (HRA) approved research database. Research using IMRD contributes to existing knowledge and generates insights for improving the provision of health or social care, or the promotion of health.

If your GP Practice is interested in joining MRES to help support health research, contact us today

Benefits for GP practices joining MRES:

  • Contribute to health research which can drive clinical guidance and best practice leading to improved healthcare and patient outcomes
  • Opportunities to partner with IQVIA on other research opportunities
  • Practices are reimbursed for their participation


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.
More details are available in our IMRD Privacy Notice here.


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/
