At the October 2025 Waterside Patient Engagement Meeting, the Be Part of Research service was brought to our attention - it is a way of signing up to medical research to help find better outcomes for all of us - further information and the link to find out more and sign up is below.
What is Be Part of Research?
Be Part of Research is a UK-wide service that helps people understand what research is and what it might mean to take part. It also shows what research is currently happening across the UK.
To find out more: Be Part of Research.
You can create a free account or search for trials and studies into health conditions you’re interested in, at locations near you.
Be Part of Research is run by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), in collaboration with the NHS and devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The mission of the NIHR is to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.
Be Part of Research is funded by the UK government, through the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
