At FluCamp we recruit volunteers across the UK to participate in our paid flu and asthma clinical trials in Manchester. Volunteers who apply will need to attend two screening visits at either our Manchester* or London centre before they are eligible to take part in a FluCamp clinical trial.
*For some studies, we may require you to attend your 2nd screening at our London site.
Our screening facilities are in Whitechapel and our state-of-the-art quarantine facilities are located in Canary Wharf, in the heart of the city. Our purpose-built centre boasts a whole range of modern facilities including consultation rooms, phlebotomy stations, a dedicated on-site lab and quarantine facilities. Here we can conduct every stage of the clinical trial, from the initial screening process right up to your final follow-up visit.
Once you have applied for a clinical trial and had an initial phone call with a member of our team, you will then be invited to attend your first screening. At this screening, we’ll take a small blood sample to ensure you are suitable for our upcoming trials.
Providing your blood results are suitable, you’ll then be invited to visit us again for a full medical screening which will include another blood test, a urine sample, an ECG (an electrocardiogram to listen to your heart’s rhythm), and a height and weight measurement.
Once we have your results, we’ll then assess your suitability. If you are eligible, you will be invited to take part in a study at our quarantine facility inCanary Wharf, Central London.

Taking part in a clinical trial can offer many benefits, and we know our volunteers sign up for various reasons. Our testimonials show just some of the motivations for people to sign up. Whether studying, working, or taking a break from both, FluCamp gives volunteers the benefit of being cared for in every regard whilst having plenty of ‘me-time’. FluCampers also choose to stay with us because they like to use the compensation reward towards travelling, a house move, or just for a financial boost.
We run clinical trials because we are dedicated to finding a cure for viruses like the flu. We welcome all fit and healthy volunteers, and appreciate what they are doing to aid our work towards finding a cure!
You can take part multiple times! You can do a trial with us every 3 months*. If you’ve taken part previously, and completed quarantine over three months ago you can re-apply via email at [email protected]. *Please note this is dependent on trial availability and participant eligibility.
We take great care in matching volunteers to an appropriate study. Once you’ve been invited to join FluCamp we’ll give you a detailed explanation of the trial we’ve allocated you to and then it’s up to you to decide whether to take part. Your choice does not impact on whether you would be eligible to take part in any future studies. FluCamp has a very strict health screening process to ensure that we only accept the lowest risk volunteers. As part of our volunteering process, we will check your medical history, and do some current blood, urine and ECG tests to establish your suitability. This allows us to make sure we are only recruiting volunteers who are healthy.
You can register with us at anytime! Before booking your first screening appointment we would recommend that you have good availabillity three months following this as this tends to be when the trial will take place. We know there may be some times in the year when volunteers have other commitments that may clash with FluCamp dates. If you can give us as much notice as possible, we’ll try our best to schedule visits and studies for times that you are available.
