People who get involved in health research tend to have better outcomes, as they become better at managing their own health. Taking part in research also means you are helping to discover new ways to prevent, diagnose and manage illnesses, improving care and treatments for everyone.
Research for the Future is an NHS supported campaign that helps people find out about and take part in health and care research. Everyone aged over 18 can register, whether you have a health condition or not.
Registering means you will receive information about research opportunities along with details of how to take part. There are many different types of research you can take part in, including completing questionnaires, being part of discussion groups, testing equipment, or being involved in clinical trials of new treatments.
Research for the Future are especially keen to hear from people who are living with heart, respiratory and kidney conditions, diabetes and long covid.
