Be a part of our next Health Innovation Study

We are continually exploring a wide range of health therapeutic areas in which we can discover new and improved ways to enhance you and your families quality of life. Volunteer and assist with improving the health of future generations.

What are the benefits?

You may have access to treatments not yet available to the public, have regular medical treatment at no cost to you, and be helping develop treatments of the future.

What are clinical trials?

Clinical Trials are a research tool for advancing medical knowledge and patient care. This involves research with study volunteers (also called participants) that is intended to add to medical knowledge.

Participants receive specific treatments according to the study protocol. The protocol sets out the detailed process and design of the study, the treatment(s) to be used and the measurements that will be required.

How much time is involved?

Studies vary in length from up to 6 months and some can be several years depending on the therapeutic area and study design. An initial Clinic visit may take up to 1.5 - 2 hours, with follow-up visits that are typically between 30 - 60 minutes.

What is expected of me?

Participants generally come in for regular clinic visits. Some trials require more doctor visits than would be normal for an illness or your condition. A description of what’s expected in the study will be provided to you before your first visit.
