Clinical trials

Questions to ask the study team

A study team should make time for your questions before you decide whether to share your details or take part.

About the study

What is the study trying to learn? What would I need to do, how long would it last and where would visits take place?

What are the known and possible risks? Who should I contact if I have a concern? Would my usual care continue, and what happens if I choose to stop?

Are travel, time away from work, tests or costs involved? Will I receive the results? Ask the team to explain any words or steps that are unclear.
