Research at Hoxton Health
We are getting ready to open up again at St Leonard’s. Things will be different and what we really want to know is WHAT YOU WANT. You may be called by a team to ask you questions about Hoxton Health. We’ve authorised them to do this on our behalf. If you are still uncomfortable, just say you don’t want to talk to them. But it would be great if you could.
