About participation
Members of the British Research Panel will be informed about clinical trials seeking participants via an email. If you have already filled out our "General Health Questionnaire", we will be able to inform you about clinical trials that match your health information.
Matching a study to your profile
The email you receive from us contains a link to an online questionnaire. You must complete this questionnaire for us to be able to assess whether a clinical trial matches your health information.
Dialogue with our nurse
If a trial matches your health information, our Research Nurse will call you and provide you with more information about the trial. She will also guide you through the next steps and refer you to the nearest research clinic, if you are still interested in participating.
Clinic consultation
After you have been referred to the nearest research clinic, the medical staff will ensure that you will be enrolled in the trial, and help you test out the new medical treatment.
