The benefits of participating in a clinical trial for you

• Free Medical – if you complete the health questionnaire and fulfil the requirements, you will be invited for a screening medical to ensure that it is safe for you to undertake clinical trials.
• Payment – when you participate in clinical trials, you will receive a payment to compensate for your time and inconvenience. You will also be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses once you have become a member of the Volunteer Panel.
• Satisfaction – knowing you will have helped others by developing medication for future generations.

Safety

• The most obvious question is whether it is safe to do clinical trials. Safety is the most important consideration for all our clinical research. We ensure that volunteers are never exposed to more than minimal risk. We do this in a number of ways:
• Staff – Our staff are highly experienced and well trained.
• Scrutiny – All our studies are designed and scrutinised by our physicians, scientists and other professionals. All our trials are run in accordance with European Legislation and if a new medicine is involved must be approved by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency).
• Independent Review – All studies are submitted for approval to an independent Ethics Committee whose purpose is to safeguard the interests of patients and volunteers, participating in clinical research. No study can take place without having been approved in this way.
• Standards – We comply with all guidelines set out by the Regulatory Authorities. Our practice is audited to confirm this.
• Monitoring – we monitor volunteers very closely to detect any effects of the drug.
• Well Equipped Clinical Unit – Our Unit is well equipped, modern and comfortable with state of the art equipment.
