We will usually only use your identifiable data for the purposes of the specific research project, and for associated monitoring and audit activities carried out by authorised individuals with responsibility for those activities.   If we intend to use your identifiable data in any other related research project or for research over a longer period, this will be explained in the patient information sheet.

Where the research results in your data being anonymised and forming part of a statistical research dataset, we may store it in our research archive and use it (in that anonymised form) for future research.
