Research is for everyone!
We offer a variety of studies across a wide range of clinical specialties within the trust that you may be able to take part in.
Your healthcare professional or a member of the research team may talk to you about research opportunities at the trust that may be related to your current health condition. However, we also recruit to studies that require healthy volunteers.
To explore research opportunities at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, you can refer to the list of studies that are open to recruitment.

Ebola, Marburg and Lassa Vaccine Study
We are looking for healthy volunteers aged 18–50 to join a research study testing new vaccines designed to protect against Ebola, Marburg and Lassa viruses.
The study aims to check whether these vaccines are safe and whether they trigger an immune response. Participants will get three injections on two separate visits; these may contain one or more vaccines or a placebo, and you won’t know which you received until the study ends. The study lasts about a year and includes 13 visits. Total payment is £2,800 for full participation.
