Be part of research

Without patients, carers and volunteers there would be no clinical research. We are grateful for everyone who supports our research and who volunteers to take part in studies and clinical trials.
Nottingham is a leader in Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in research. Our work with people affected by hearing loss, with arthritis, respiratory diseases, mental health, as well as our involvement of young people, is recognised in the UK and internationally.
Take part in research
We put people at the heart of the research that we do across our hospitals. We offer a range of opportunities for you to share your views, help shape future research trials or to take part in current research trials.
Please note that the participation in research has been affected by COVID-19. You can find the latest information here:

Nottingham is research
In 2018 we launched a new strategy for developing greater involvement in research, through the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre. This strategy is called, Nottingham is Research and it aims to work with local communities to promote learning and development in clinical research, along with greater understanding of the ways in which research is changing healthcare for the better.
