I’ve been invited to join FluCamp – does this mean I definitely have a place?

The first few days of a volunteer’s stay with us are an extension of their previous screening visits. This is because we want to make sure that nothing has changed and that volunteers are still fit and healthy. Not everyone passes this final screening phase (we can’t accept people with coughs and colds for example), so we do need to invite more people that we ultimately need.  Everyone that passes the final screening process has the same chance of staying with us for the duration of a study. Sometimes people are unable to stay until the end, but depending on the reason, volunteers are welcome to come back to FluCamp another time. Those that do leave early will be entitled to compensation for the number of days they spend in the unit – details of this are outlined and provided in the Informed Consent Form, which volunteers will receive via email prior to their appointment.
