The winners of the inaugural RCGP Clinical Research Network awards were announced at this year's RCGP annual conference.

There is also an award for First 5 GPs (GPs in the first five years of their career) who demonstrate an emerging interest and experience in delivering NIHR research within a primary care setting.

This year's winning practice is Queen’s Square Medical Practice in Lancaster. Meanwhile, Dr Sam Davies from Yate near Bristol received the First 5 award (pictured below).
