Getting involved with research
Our research benefits from the knowledge, views and experiences of people and patients. We welcome the involvement of patients, carers and other members of the public from all over the UK.
You can be involved with research in a variety of ways. You can join our research community or follow any of the other pathways to help us or other research organisations make research relevant to you and people like you.
NIHR BRC: Moorfields Research Community
If you would like to help us shape research, please join our Research Community.
As part of our Research Community you may be invited to:
- Attend future events on eye research
- Contribute to the design of research studies through email correspondence/letter or by joining a discussion group
- Respond to questionnaires that help researchers to develop studies in areas of relevance to you
Please be aware that signing up to the Research Community is not a means through which you will be made aware of current trials that are recruiting participants.
Research opportunities at Moorfields (ROAM)
Moorfields is one of the world’s most successful research active organisations. To drive research forward, maintain their reputation as a global research leader, but most of all to improve all patients’ care, it is vital that they recruit people, patients and healthy volunteers, to their research studies.

BRC Advisors
We set up the BRC Advisors in 2021 to play an active role in research management, regulation and decision-making at the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Moorfields (BRC). In particular, the Advisors help ensure our structures and future plans promote public interest and provide maximum patient benefit.
We would advertise any upcoming advisor roles through our partner Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
A YPAG is a Young Persons Advisory Group.
The Eye YPAG specialises in advising researchers and health care professionals about young people and eye health research.
The group was founded in March 2019 and has around 16-20 members aged 8 -16 who were recruited from clinics across Moorfields.
Researchers take an idea for a medical trail, a new treatment plan or area of research to the group and use a variety of activities to discuss and receive feedback on the proposed research.
