How to take part in research

If you are interested in taking part in a trial, please discuss it with the doctor, nurse or health care professional at your next appointment.

Please visit our patient research frequently asked questions page >,which has useful information and questions you may wish to ask the research team.

All trials have different criteria and requirements for those who may take part. Even though you may have a relevant medical condition, you may not be suitable for a particular trial. This will be discussed in your initial conversation with your doctor, nurse or health care professional, where you will also be given information on the trial, usually in a written format so you can take it away with you.


Recruiting studies

We are a research active Trust taking part in a variety of research studies across different disease areas. If you are interested in taking part in one of these studies please speak to your doctor, nurse or health care professional at your next appointment.

Alternatively, please visit the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) website (opens in new window) > where you can find trials that are not just specific to UHDB.
