Taking part in research should never feel complicated. Our process is designed to be simple, transparent and fully in your control, from joining through to receiving your rewards. Whether you take part once or regularly, here's exactly what to expect and how Patient First Research works.
Create your account in just a couple of minutes.
You'll be asked a few simple questions about your health, experiences, or caring responsibilities so we can match you to relevant healthcare research studies in the UK.
We only ask for the information that's essential to complete your Patient First Research registration and match you with relevant market research studies.
To keep our healthcare research community genuine and trusted, we run a simple, secure verification process. This protects you, protects researchers, and improves the accuracy of healthcare insights.
Verification may include:
— Phone and email validation
— Address confirmation
— Behavioural fraud screening
Where needed, we may carry out additional checks, always handled carefully, fairly, and with your experience in mind.
Once registered, you'll be able to access your personal dashboard.
From there, you'll complete a short profiling survey to unlock your welcome bonus and start receiving relevant research opportunities.
You can also build a richer profile over time, helping us match you to more studies that fit your experience.
You’ll receive invitations by email or text, based on your profile.
Each study begins with a few quick questions to see if you qualify.
— If you qualify → complete the study and receive the full reward
— If it’s not a match → you’ll still receive a Patient First Research participation reward
Studies may include:
— Short online surveys
— Interviews or healthcare focus groups
— Online discussions or diary studies
Before taking part, you’ll always see:
— What’s involved
— How long it takes
— What you’ll earn
No surprises. No pressure. Total transparency.
After you complete a study, your reward will appear as pending in your dashboard while it's reviewed.
Once approved, it's added to your balance.
You’re always in control — you can:
— Withdraw your funds
— Build your balance over time
— Donate to charity
Payments are handled securely via a trusted payment provider, with funds transferred directly to your chosen account when you withdraw.
Thank you for choosing to participate in healthcare research in the UK with Patient First Research and helping shape the future of healthcare.
