Help researchers - join our Trials Delivery Framework Register!
About the Trials Delivery Framework Register
The DPUK Trials Delivery Framework Register serves as a national repository of valuable information, including memory scores, clinical history, brain scan results, and medications, collected from local research registers at patients' local sites. By agreeing to place their data in the Register, individuals gain the opportunity to be contacted for future research studies within the Trials Delivery Framework that align with their suitability.
Aims:
- Give patients the best opportunity to take part in research studies.
- Provide doctors with the highest quality information to make more accurate and earlier diagnoses.
- Grant researchers controlled access to research data from a large number of people.
