Participating in Research

We are fortunate to live in a time when healthcare is of a high quality and where new treatments and techniques are continually developed. What many people do not realise is how important volunteer participants are in the quest to continually improve healthcare.

Whether the research is trialling a new medication, better understanding how sleep affects us all, developing a new assessment tool or improving the quality of life of those affected by serious disease, people from all walks of life have volunteered to assist.

Looking for volunteers to participate in CHEST-MND PRO study.
