Pier Health Group is currently working with a research technology partner known as uMed. Their accredited platform enables us to provide you with research opportunities that are highly relevant to your health circumstances.
Without the use of uMed’s technology we may not have the time to find and engage patients that meet the requirements of the studies. This would therefore mean many patients would miss out on their chance to participate in ground-breaking research.
For further information on uMed please visit their website at www.umed.io or email patientsupport@umed.io
Supporting Research Activity
Pier Health Group uses Umedeor Ltd (uMed) as a data processor to support research and care support activity. This includes accessing and secure hosting of health record data for the purpose of identifying patients that are eligible for specific research or care support projects. uMed also contacts those patients on behalf of the practice via SMS, letter, email or telephone to provide more information about the study, and to collect additional information to assess your eligibility for a certain study.
Your consent will be required before any practice data is shared externally with researchers. uMed applies the national opt-out to practice data it receives so if you wish your data is not processed for research you can do so by visiting https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/
For further information on uMed please visit their website at www.umed.io or email patientsupport@umed.io
Pier Health Group is taking part in several studies known as ACCESS Registries, run by our research technology partner uMed. These registry studies follow participants over time and collect information provided by you, on your own terms, from the comfort of your own home. This provides researchers with invaluable data about different diseases and conditions. The data collection can be in the form of questionnaires, medical device data and DNA testing.
These ACCESS Registries are currently enrolling patients who have been diagnosed with
the following conditions:
● Parkinson’s Disease (AccessPD registry)
● Interstitial Lung Disease (AccessILD registry)
● Cardiometabolic Disease (AccessCMD registry)
If you’d like to find out more about these studies and what would be involved if you decided to participate please contact uMed’s nurse support team at patientsupport@umed.io
We are looking for volunteers to take part in a study looking at the use of the shingles vaccine (Shingrix), at the same time as the seasonal flu vaccine or as the bivalent COVID-19 booster.
If we could give the shingles vaccine at the same time as either the flu or COVID19 vaccine it may make it easier for people, and for GPs, as fewer appointments would be needed.
Combining Recombinant Herpes Zoster and Influenza or COVID-19 Vaccination (ZosterFluCOV) Study
We are recruiting adults aged 50 and over to a study which is looking at the safety and immune response of a vaccine against shingles (herpes zoster) given at the same time as influenza (flu) vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine.
This is a summary of the study. For more information please scan the QR code on the final page or go to the study website.

Calling all frailty-minded General Practitioners
Are you interested in older people’s care, frailty or palliative care? Are you frustrated at not having the time or capability to sort out complex problems properly? Do you often get the feeling that you could be doing more to improve quality of care for our most experienced members of society?
If so, come and find your tribe at the One Weston Care Home Hub in North Somerset, based at 168 Medical.
Pier Health Group are transforming the care of older people. We have led this charge with the development of a centralised Care Home Hub, servicing the healthcare needs of our 65 care homes. Yes, that’s a lot, isn’t it? We are hungry with ambition, and after our first year of success which saw us featured as a national exemplar, and our second year as finalists for a prestigious HSJ Award. Join our existing team of dynamic clinicians in a multidisciplinary environment. This is no ordinary service; we are building a legacy for our population, and for our primary care workforce.
If you are tired of dealing with problems “on the day” and not having time to address the real issues, if you are feeling increasingly lonely working in primary or community care and missing the sense of team camaraderie, if you find yourself increasingly “hands off” rather than “hands on”, then this is the job for you.
Salary: in the region of £11k per session per year
This is a weekday, in-hours service with no weekend or evening commitments.
Preferred working pattern: 2 days a week (four sessions)
We will consider other offers.
Closing date: Friday 6th March, 2025.
We may close applications early if sufficient high quality applications are received.
