Methodology Research Group

Primary Care Methodology Research Group

led by Professor Nick Freemantle and Dr Irene Petersen.

The Methodologists' Group brings together into a common structure those researchers principally

involved in quantitative research methods, including Statisticians, Epidemiologists and Health Economists                                      

(e.g. ‘Methodologists’).  This enhances collaborative and cooperative work among these researchers and

provides a rational structure for interaction with the clinically focussed research groups within Primary Care

& Population Health (PCPH), Priment Clinical Trials Unit (PRIMENT) and other relevant groups within UCL and beyond.
