A clinical research guide that starts with your needs.

Kingsley Med Clinical Network explains research near you and the support that can make taking part possible, so that more people can say yes, or no, on their own terms.

What we hold to

Four rules for every page we write.

They decide what goes on the site and what stays off it, including anything that reads like a sales pitch.

Plain words first

Every page is written to be read once and understood, without medical training.

Your details stay here

We pass nothing to study teams, sponsors or anyone else. You contact a study yourself.

Support is part of it

An interpreter, a ramp or a later start is part of taking part, so every page says how to ask.

No pressure, ever

We never tell you to join a study and never suggest you would be accepted. The choice is yours.

Our approach

The question we kept hearing was not about medicine.

When people talk about clinical trials, the first worries are often practical. Will someone explain it in my language? Can I get into the building? What if I am fasting that week, or caring for my mother, or already seeing three specialists?

Most study teams can help with those things when they hear about them early. Kingsley Med exists to make that conversation easier: to explain the research, name the support, and give you the words to ask for it.

Ask early, ask plainly, and decide for yourself.

What we are not

Four things Kingsley Med will never be.

Being clear about this protects you, and it keeps every page honest.

No examinations or treatment

Kingsley Med is not a medical provider. We do not examine, diagnose, treat or advise anyone about their health.

Not a study sponsor

We do not run, fund or recruit for any study, and no study team has a say in what we write.

Not a go-between

We never pass your details to a study. You contact the team yourself.

Not a sales site

Nothing here is for sale, and reading the site costs nothing.

What you will find here, and what you will not.

A short list we check every page against before it goes up.
