#BePartofResearch bus

Start Date: 1 December 2023 9:30 am

End Date: 1 December 2023 10:30 am

Location: Wheeler

The NHS mobile research bus will be on site to discuss how you can get involved and #BePartofResearch.

So, whether you are living with a medical condition or a healthy individual, pop and chat to the team onboard about trials you may be suitable for.

Did you know that not all clinical trials are medical? They can include anything from questionnaires, taking a blood pressure reading, or testing a plaster. The great thing is all of these things, along with collecting blood samples and administering vaccines can be completed on our mobile research bus.

You may be able to take part in a trial if you are.

  • A patient – if you are currently being treated by clinical teams at our hospitals or have signed up to the Consent4Consent (C4C) database.
  • A participant – you have been identified as having a condition or criteria that are required for a specific trial.
  • A healthy volunteer – you have signed up for the Consent4Consent database.

Sign up for the Consent4Consent database, our in-house register that helps us identify volunteers for a specific study. Registering for the database does not commit you to any specific study – you are still able to review the details and accept or decline on an individual basis.

If you would like to join please visit: https://forms.office.com/e/snXKqhdDnH
