What researchers want from Bristol
Bristol is a city with two universities, two large NHS trusts and an unusual mix of employers: aerospace engineering at Filton, animation and broadcast studios, a busy fintech and software scene, and a lot of charities and social enterprises. Studies that need honest feedback from people in this area come from all of those directions.
Healthcare research is a regular source of studies. Southmead Hospital, Bristol Royal Infirmary and the wider University Hospitals Bristol and Weston group serve a big catchment, and teams designing patient information, appointment systems and health apps want to test with people who use them, not just with staff.
Remote studies are open to anyone in Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. If an in-person session is planned near you, the invitation gives the venue and timings before you say yes.
