Recruit participants to your study
As the UK's largest Parkinson's charity, we can help you recruit participants by sharing your research with our supporters for free. We also have tools to help you stay connected.
Last year we helped 50 research trials find participants!
We can help you find people with Parkinson's and their families, friends and carers for your study through:
- our Research Support Network,
- our Take Part Hub
- as well as our digital channels and local groups.
Applying for our support is quick and simple. We can share your research without any changes needing to be made to your ethical approval or R&D contract.
We know participants are more likely to take part in future studies if they received updates from the researchers.
So we've developed a toolkit to make it easy for the research community to communicate with their study participants.
You can view the toolkit master guide or download individual elements from our website.
Aseel Aburub, a researcher at Keele University, said:
"I want to thank Parkinson's UK for sharing my research with their Research Support Network and on their Take Part Hub. As a result, I quickly received over and above the required responses to my online questionnaire. I would recommend anyone who is looking for research participants for their study to get in touch with Parkinson's UK."
