Taking Part in Clinical Trials

We could not do clinical trials without the vital input of patients, carers and the public.

Every day, people generously volunteer their time to take part in clinical trials. In 2022/2023 nearly 1 million people took part in research in the UK. For the majority of our trials, we recruit patients via the NHS. If you are interested in taking part in a trial then ask your healthcare team whether there are any which are suitable for you.

You can also look at the ‘Be Part of Research’ website. This lets you search for ongoing trials in particular health conditions or locations. https://bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/
