Research takes place across every corner of the UK and helps to support everyday work in the NHS. Every research study is unique and every study looks to answer a different question in order to improve care and people’s lives. There are lots of types of research, from lifestyle surveys to drug trials, but they all follow the same set of steps. Each step in a study is checked and approved by independent experts to make sure they are safe and ethical. If you’re thinking of taking part in a study the research team will chat to you about the trial and answer any questions you have. Once you feel comfortable, it’s time for the first step. Before you join the study, a researcher will ask you questions to check you are a good match for the study. Step one: Consent. Giving the research team your permission to take part, known as informed consent, is the first step in any study. Deciding to take part is completely your choice and you can leave the study at any point. Once you have read the study’s information sheets and signed the consent form it’s time to begin! Your first study visit is where researchers will carry out tests or surveys. The type and amount of the tests will vary for each study. The Research team will explain what’s involved and any visits or calls you need to complete. You may be asked to fill out questionnaires, keep a diary, or make trips to a local hospital or GP. Due to COVID-19, and to save you time, some study visits may be carried out online or over the phone. Once the study has finished, the results are usually published and should be made available to everyone who took part. Some studies can run for many years, and it may be a while before the results are known. If the study you are on discovers new treatments or practices, regulators will work with the NHS to decide how these findings will change how people are cared for. It is thanks to the millions of study participants before you that we have treatments, vaccines and other preventions for a whole list of diseases, including COVID-19, heart disease, diabetes and so much more!
