Dear [recipient],

We are contacting you because you have kindly consented to be approached by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) researchers about research that is relevant to you. You were identified as someone who might be a suitable research participant in our study, [Insert name of study].

I am enclosing a leaflet with more information about the study we are running. Please feel free to read it and discuss it with your friends, family or care team if you wish. If you think this study is relevant to you and that you might be interested in taking part in this research, or if you wish to discuss it further:

[Suggested options follow, but please provide contact details including a telephone number where possible. This section may be replaced by wording already ethically approved about methods and frequency of contacting participants in your study via a research database.]

If you decide you do not wish to take part, there is no need to do anything.

You may recall that you agreed to your details being passed on to us, and for us to have access to your CPFT records, via the CPFT Research Database ({{ settings.RDBM_URL }}). If ever you want to change your mind about researchers contacting you directly, or you would like more details about the research database, please speak to your care team or contact the CPFT Research Database Manager:

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We’d like to remind you that you’re always free to say yes or no about taking part in any research, and any choices you make about research won’t affect the care you receive from your health care teams.

With kind regards,
