Newcastle & the North East
Paid research studies in
Newcastle & the North East.
Newcastle, join The Collective and get paid to share your views on NHS services, software and everyday products. The North East is often left out of research that gets designed elsewhere, and that is the gap we want to close. Mostly remote, paid in Amazon or Love2Shop vouchers within days.
Why the North East gets left out
Plenty of research is carried out in London and then treated as if it covers the whole country. Teams that want to know how a service works in the North East need to talk to people who live here, and that is a good reason to sign up.
Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs the Royal Victoria Infirmary and the Freeman Hospital, and the city has an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, so there is a steady stream of health and patient experience work. Two universities, a software sector built around firms like Sage and the science and tech campus at Newcastle Helix add product and digital studies.
Remote studies are open across Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, North and South Tyneside, Durham and Northumberland. In-person sessions depend on the project, and we give the venue and travel details in the invitation so you can decide.
