Get involved in research

Why you should get involved

Anyone can take part. By taking part in research, you help us:

• Improve care and treatment options.
• Share your experiences to shape future services.
• Support better understanding of mental health, neurodegeneration, and dementia.

How it works

• You choose what studies you want to join.
• It could be a quick survey or testing a new medicine.
• You decide when and where – it’s always your choice.

We are able to provide support and guidance in all aspects of research, including:

• Developing your research idea
• Protocol design
• Funding
• Study set up & management
• Data collection
• Data analysis

If you do have a research idea, we want to hear from you in the early stages, to ensure you are seeking adequate advice and information to collate a robust research application for HRA, REC and Trust Approval.

EPUT supports commercial, non-commercial and academic research adopted by the NIHR Portfolio. We also take part in service evaluations and audit research across the Trust.
