COVID-19 Research
The registry aims to recruit 500,000 volunteers by the end of 2020 and generate fast recruitment to vaccine studies.
It will also create a ‘research ready’ population for future health research studies and enables researchers the opportunity to engage with those who want to be involved. The registry links from NHS.UK, Gov.uk (COVID-19 hub), the National Testing Programme for COVID and promoted extensively on social media.
Signing up is your choice, you can change your mind and withdraw at any time. By signing up, you give permission for researchers to contact you about taking part in NIHR approved UK COVID-19 studies – you are not signing up to take part in those studies.
