Manchester is open, and it has a proper lung unit
Nine consulting rooms, four overnight beds, and the breathing tests we previously had to send people to Milton Keynes for.
14 July 2026We run clinical trials at our own sites in Britain and America, and we do it carefully, because the results end up in someone's prescription.
The people who volunteer come first
Every person who takes part sees a named doctor, gets as long as they need to ask questions, and can change their mind at any point.
Nine sites, one team, one standard
We own and staff every location ourselves. Sponsors sign one contract and deal with one group of people who answer for the whole thing.
Our research sites help medicines companies around the world turn a promising idea into something a doctor can actually prescribe — and we make sure the volunteers who get them there are properly looked after.
JustClinical started in 2016 above a pharmacy in Milton Keynes. Two doctors and a study coordinator had spent years watching good trials come apart for reasons that had nothing to do with the science — a coordinator leaving halfway through, notes nobody else could read, recruitment numbers that were never realistic in the first place.
Their answer was to stop renting other people's clinics. We own our nine sites, we employ the investigators and the coordinators, and we use the same paperwork and the same procedures at every one. When something goes wrong, there is one team to ask about it, and no one gets to point at somebody else.
Ten years on, we work with drug companies and CROs on both sides of the Atlantic across ten conditions, from asthma and eczema to diabetes and migraine. We have turned down more studies than we have accepted, usually because we did not think we could recruit for them honestly. That has kept us smaller than we might have been. We think it has also kept us worth working with.
Three of the questions we get asked most, and where to read more about each one.
You will be given a named contact, an unhurried explanation, and the information sheet to take home and think about. Nobody is asked to sign anything on their first visit, and saying no makes no difference to the care you get anywhere else.
For participantsIt is a carefully planned study that asks a narrow question about a treatment: does it work, how safely, and for whom. An independent ethics committee reads the plan and has to approve it before anyone is invited to take part.
How trials workPlenty of people do not get on well with the treatments currently available. If your symptoms are moderate or severe and fall into one of the areas we work in, we would like to hear from you. Registering commits you to nothing.
Register interestResearch only works if the people around it understand it and trust it, and if somebody is training the next lot of investigators. None of that pays for itself. We do it anyway.
We hold open evenings at every site where anyone can walk in and ask what a placebo is, or whether we get paid per person recruited. We also run sessions with sixth-form science groups and with faith and community organisations, in the languages those groups use.
People usually turn research down for good reasons: nobody asked them, or somebody asked them badly. That is not fixed with an advert. It is fixed by turning up.
Our Milton Keynes site is an approved training location for the Pharmaceutical Medicine Specialty Training programme, which is the recognised route for doctors who want to specialise in how medicines are developed and monitored.
Trainees rotate through feasibility, protocol review, safety reporting and supervised investigator work. Those who finish go onto the specialist register.
Training and attachmentsA paid twelve-month programme for people coming into clinical research without the usual background. No degree needed. Roughly a third of our coordinators arrived this way, from pharmacy counters, care homes, phlebotomy rooms and one ambulance service.
Currently offered at Milton Keynes and Birmingham, and open to people already living and entitled to work in the UK.

14 July 2026Three findings, none of them serious, and the six things we did differently in the eight weeks afterwards.
2 June 2026Two years of community work, what shifted as a result, and the things we tried that made no difference at all.
28 April 2026Volunteers get time with a doctor, a closer look at their own condition, and access to treatments that are not available yet. Registering takes a few minutes and you are free to walk away at any point.
