Resources to support recruiting GP practices
All GP practices can support PRINCIPLE
PRINCIPLE calls on the support of every GP, general practice, primary and social care professional in the country to support patient recruitment.
Every GP practice, out-of-hours provider and NHS 111 across the country can now contribute by identifying and signposting patients to the study. Please direct potential participants aged 18 and over with symptoms of COVID to self-screen via the website.

New site set-up
The PRINCIPLE trial has stopped accepting new GP sites for set up as the trial is now open to all patient directly regardless of their registered GP surgery.
To enable as many people as possible to benefit from the trial we are happy to work with all sites on promoting the trial. A variety of media is available from posters and videos to scripted text and emails with instructions on how to send to patient lists, which can be found below.
