Your transport costs will often be covered.
If visits and examinations at the hospital are prolonged, you will also often receive financial compensation.
Other questions
All research projects take place in research departments in public British hospitals and clinics. Usually there are multiple locations scattered across the UK.
How long do research projects last and how many visits do I need to plan?
It varies, but most research projects last 1-2 years. At the beginning there will be 3-4 visits where participants undergo examinations. After this, visits are usually every 3 months.
At the British Research Panel, we are constantly working to find participants for research projects. You may therefore receive several questionnaires each month, if there are multiple projects relevant to you.
Participation is completely voluntary, so you can always say no to participating and just to not fill out the questionnaire.
