Many of our members tell us that taking part in research provides a genuinely helpful additional source of income � especially during times when everyday costs are rising. We aim to keep participation flexible, fair, and accessible, so you can earn a little extra in a way that fits around your health and your day-to-day life.
You�ll also have the option to donate some or all of your earnings to charity, allowing you to create meaningful impact for causes close to your heart. Many members tell us this is one of their biggest motivations � knowing their participation can support wider patient communities as well as themselves.
Anyone aged 18 or over who lives in the UK and takes medication (prescribed or over the counter) can join. Many research opportunities are about your experiences with UK healthcare, not only specific diseases.
You don�t need any previous research experience � just a genuine voice and willingness to share your opinion. We simply ask that all members at all times provide the most accurate and honest information they can during registration and throughout any studies they take part in.
Your safety and trust come first.
We use a multi-layer verification process - developed from industry best practice - to protect the community and ensure that every study is completed by real people with real experiences.
Our verification layers may include:
� Phone & Email validation
� Address confirmation
� Behavioural fraud checks
� ID and condition review by our UK verification team
� Optional liveness checks if something doesn't match
We only ask for what's necessary, never more. Your data is processed under UK GDPR, stored securely, and never shared or sold for marketing.

You start receiving study invitations by email or text

You don't need to be available all the time - simply take part when something feels right for you.
