How decentralised trials can change the future of clinical research
‘Decentralised trials’ allow research participants to take part remotely without visiting a clinic in person. Read researcher Yan Yiannakou’s thoughts on the opportunities that decentralised trials offer.
We need your help…
We’d like to give as many people as possible the opportunity to take part in research. Please help us by telling your family and friends about Research+Me and encouraging them to sign up.
Research+Me is expanding!
Research+Me will shortly be expanding to include dedicated studies for people with Parkinson’s disease and people who have mood disorders. These studies will include opportunities for people who live across the country, not just in the North East!
