Who should join

In short…everyone should consider joining!
We all face different health challenges during our lives and will certainly know friends and family who are affected. This is perhaps the best starting point, to think about your health and that of those around you. See if you can relate to one of the 14 areas of health research that we want to focus on.

Why join

Health research improves the quality of all our lives. Without your support and involvement we can’t run the studies or trials that are so important. You might only need to give up a small amount of your time to help the research have a big impact.
