How can I find a research study to join?

When you register your interest, the information you provide will be used to match you to studies you may be able to take part in, both online, nationally, and in your local area. 

The service connects people registered with dementia researchers who are looking for people to join their studies. You can review your study matches once you register and then it’s your decision whether to take part.

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) also has a service called Be Part of Research, where you can find clinical studies that you could be eligible for.
