Research that needs Merseyside voices

Liverpool has a long record in health research. The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Alder Hey Children's Hospital, the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and the large Liverpool University Hospitals group all sit in or near the city, and their work regularly needs input from patients, parents and carers.

Alongside health there is a growing digital and creative scene in the Baltic Triangle and Knowledge Quarter, three universities, and a big public sector footprint across the Liverpool City Region. Design and product teams need people who live here to tell them what works, not a guess based on somewhere else.

Remote studies are open across Liverpool, the Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens and Halton. When an in-person session is planned nearby, the invitation includes the venue and timings before you decide.
