239 people have so far joined the registry of healthy volunteers willing to be contacted about taking part in health research, set up by the NIHR UCLH Clinical Research Facility (CRF) one year ago.
The CRF now aims to reach 500 people registered by the end of the year.
The registry is for studies taking place at the NIHR UCLH CRF where healthy volunteers are needed to take part in several studies run throughout the year.
Participants are likely to be compensated for their time and participation, with compensation depending on the nature of the research study. They will also be helping to answer important questions about new medications.
Being a healthy volunteer can mean different things depending on the study recruiting, but for many studies, in broad terms, it means someone with no significant health conditions.
People who sign up to the registry will be contacted by email about future healthy volunteer studies taking place at the NIHR UCLH CRF.
As a volunteer on the registry, if you are contacted about a new study, this does not mean you are automatically eligible. The registry is a way of informing people of new studies they may be interested in supporting if they are eligible.
