We are putting together a panel of people over 50 who are interested in taking part in a variety of studies across different disciplines of health-related research. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers from all backgrounds and levels of fitness to make up this panel.
By taking part you’ll not only extend your own knowledge, but also know you’re contributing to studies which will help shape the future of healthcare for older people. Any studies you decide to take part in will have been subject to ethical scrutiny and will be conducted by trained professionals. It’s easy simple and non-demanding.
Any questions?
Participation in any studies is entirely voluntary on each occasion, so by registering for our panel you are under no obligation to take part in any study. Our coordinator can then contact you when new studies arise.
If you’d like any further information about registering for our panel, feel free to call Wendy Overton on 0121 204 4134 for an informal chat. Alternatively, her email address is
w.g.overton@aston.ac.uk.
