The UK Dermatology Clinical Trials Network is dedicated to involving patients in our research wherever possible from the design of the trial right through to the dissemination of the results.  We currently have a number of members of the Network who carry out this role.  Please see our patient information leaflet here.

If you are interested in becoming a patient advisor to the Network or would just like to find out more about what we do then please contact us or complete the patient membership form.  The trials in development section of the website will give you some background information on the studies you could get involved in.

If you would like more information about our trials, or would like to take part, please look at our ongoing trials and completed trials pages.

If you are unsure about what a clinical trial involves then please go to What is a Clinical Trial?
