Take part in research
Taking part in stroke-related research can be a great way of using your own experiences to help improve the quality of life for people affected by stroke.
These studies are looking for volunteers. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact the specific researcher using the details provided.
In all instances it will be necessary for researchers to show that their project has been granted ethical approval through the IRAS (Integrated Research Application System) process or similar and that informed consent will be obtained from participants prior to their taking part in the research. Please note that Different Strokes neither recommends that members should take part nor endorses findings.
