For participants
Thinking about taking part in research?
Clinical research only works because people volunteer for it. Here is what that actually involves, in plain language — so you can decide with your eyes open.
Your safety comes first
Every study is reviewed and approved by an independent ethics committee before anyone is enrolled, and monitored continuously while it runs.
Your choice, always
Taking part is voluntary. You can say no, or change your mind later, without giving a reason and without affecting your normal care.
Your privacy is protected
Study records identify you by a code, not your name. Data shared beyond the study team is de-identified.
