We are here to help you find out about health and social care research that is taking place across the UK.
Taking part in research is particularly important at this time. Please continue to access healthcare research or other healthcare services, even while COVID-19 restrictions are in place, unless you hear otherwise.
There are a number of studies taking place into COVID-19 vaccines and treatments; as well as ongoing research into many other health conditions. Whatever research is right for you, your healthcare team have put in place changes to keep people safe. Check this site or speak to your health professional for updates on opportunities to take part in research, as things are changing quickly.
