Reach West: facilitating participation in research by patients and the public
It is often difficult for researchers to find suitable people for research studies, even for common conditions, and many people would participate in research if they knew a suitable study was available. The aim of Reach West was to bridge this gap by matching interested people to high quality research projects.
Project aims
Reach West was a partnership between NIHR CLAHRC West, NHS trusts in the West and the University of Bristol to develop an online research participation register for people living in the region.
