Ongoing Research

The Be Part of Research team are currently undertaking user experience testing. This will support the development of the service through a user centred approach which is central to the development of the site.

In addition to feedback from this, we have outlined the following delivery priorities:

1. NHS login - work is underway to embed NHS login with Be Part of Research to allow for a personalised use of the service.

2. Completion of registry capacity - work is underway to ensure that the Be Part of Research site includes a full list of studies. At present, feeds for Be Part of Research are studies registered on ISRCTN or ClinicalTrials.gov. We are aware that this is an issue when searching for studies available to the public and we are are fixing this as a priority.

3. Disability and Accessibility audit - ensuring that all information on the site is compliant with accessibility requirements.

4. Content Development - To date, the content on the site has been developed with a focus on the public. We would like to understand how the site can further support researchers and research delivery staff who might be promoting the service or recruiting patients into studies.
