Looking for Volunteers for Clincal Research Studies
As a division of ICON plc, ICON Development Solutions can offer you the opportunity to participate in clinical research. As a clinical research volunteer you can make a significant contribution to the future health of your family and friends. Without your time and commitment we would not be able to help research and develop new, potentially life-saving medicines.
Payment
The study payment is calculated by the amount of time and commitment involved for our volunteers and will be explained in detail during the informed consent process. The payment schedule for your chosen study will be explained to you in the study information documents. Some studies that require a longer commitment may be given an interim payment.
Making friends
Volunteering for a study at ICON is a great way to make new friends, who share a common interest in bringing new medicines to market.
Free Medical
At your pre-study medical visit you will meet one of our medical staff who will answer any questions you may have about the study, following which you will sign the consent form . You will be asked about your medical history and have certain procedures performed including urine and blood samples, blood pressure, height and weight, and ECG (Electrocardiogram – a heart activity tracing). Each study is different, therefore you may also have additional tests performed or be required to attend for additional visits; details of which will be provided in your study information documents.
If you are a patient with a particular condition, you may participate in a trial to get early access to new treatments for your condition. Typically, trials for specific conditions are run by physician-investigators with advanced or specialised knowledge of the condition.
Helping to develop medicines
Without the time and commitment of our volunteers, we would not be able to help research and develop new, potentially life saving medicines. Any medication you buy at the pharmacy today has been researched by clinical research companies like ICON.
