Would you like to help with research? The NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and Clinical Research Facility would like to invite you to join thousands of other volunteers who have already signed up to offer their support.
The NIHR BioResource, which is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, is a panel of thousands of people with and without health problems, who are actively helping researchers further their understanding of common diseases and rare diseases.
Joining the panel is easy. You will be invited to donate a small blood/saliva sample along with completing a questionnaire about yourself. As a member you will be sent information about various research studies where you meet the necessary entry criteria that the research team hopes you will consider participating in. You may also receive newsletters and sometimes invitations to local events.
The team would be very grateful if you could read this information sheet about the NIHR BioResource and if you are interested then please drop into the NIHR Southampton Clinical Research Facility at Southampton General Hospital (click here for directions) on any of the following dates to sign up:
