Join our macular disease research participant database
Thank you for joining the fight to Beat Macular Disease. Across the UK, many clinical trials and research studies are working to find better treatments, and ultimately a cure for macular disease.
Researchers often contact the Macular Society for help finding participants. By joining our research participant database, you could contribute to breakthroughs by:
- Sharing feedback on new developments
- Joining surveys or focus groups
- Taking part in macular disease clinical trials
Who can join?
Our research participant database is open to anyone in the UK with a macular disease diagnosis, as well as friends, family and carers who do not have the condition but want to support research.
How it works
When researchers approach us, we will review their study or clinical trial criteria and identify the most suitable participants. If you meet the requirements, we’ll provide you with the study details and the research team’s contact information, so you can decide whether to take part. If there are no current studies, or you don’t match the criteria, we may not contact you straight away.
Why we need your details
We collect personal details, including information on any retinal condition, and ethnicity, so we can assess your suitability for different trials. By providing this information, you consent to its use for research matching purposes. You can ask to be removed from the database at any time.
For researchers
If you are conducting a study and would like to recruit through our database, please email research@macularsociety.org.
