This can only be done with your consent.

The NWL Health Research Register team will not know anything about the proposed research or be able to see your medical records, they will just be able to see your contact details.
If you are interested in finding out more, the NWL Health Research Register team will then pass your contact details on to the researcher who will get in touch with you to discuss it further. There is no obligation to take part and you can say no at any point throughout the process.
All research is regulated by the Health Research Authority to ensure safety of participants.
Your participation in research is voluntary and you are free to withdraw at any time without giving a reason and without your medical care or legal rights being affected.
You set the limit on how often you want to be contacted about appropriate research opportunities, this is limited to a maximum of four per year.
