I have done medical trials twice here.
Very nice facility. Very organized, clean, friendly, and international environment. Not only that, the people who have trial here are very respectful and nice too. I was very lucky to make good friends here. But they poked my arms at least three times when you visit as out patient because sometimes they missed my vain.
I recently completed a clinical trial at HMR. Still healthy and in demand at aged 80? During a prelim medical exam one the Doctors didn't like the look of a spot on my back and advised me to see my GP on completion of the trial. This I did and have just had a potentially malignant melanoma removed. Thank you Doctor M.D. If thinking of taking part in a trial at HMR, do not hesitate. They are wonderful people.
Its a good trial to stay on and theres a lots of things to do. They have a ps3 and 4 if you are a gamer bring some of your own games too. Lots of books and movies to chose from and they have netflix. The staff were nice and friendly and the food was quite good. I would definitely go again if i was able to.
Was on a trial about an year ago. Stayed in ward for 5 days. The ward was clean, warm enough, it was a big ward divided by part walls to sub-wards. In our sub-ward we were 5 of us, the rest of the ward was mainly empty, so no so many people overall.
There was plenty of entertainment, I had my own laptop, the WiFi was good enough (in not watching movies, but the rest didn't complain its lagging)there were room with books and dvds I think as well.
Toilet and shower facilities were very clean.
The food was ok and even good some times. The coffee was awful, and as I love my coffee that why 4 stars not 5. The staff was friendly and helpful. I left the ward a bit tired as I dont use to wake up at 7 but that's the time they starting taking morning blood samples.
Overall happy with the experience. Got paid on time and the right amount.
If they have something suitable will do it with them again.
Nice friendly staff, efficient and everyone helped make good experience
Top class doctors and senior nurses.
Only minus is selection of newspapers: Sun, Daily Mail, Gurdian ...
Food is alright and there is decaf coffee for anyone craving for real stuff.
On plus side some japanese manga and plasytation 4, interesting people ... a lot of travellers or people coming to refill coffers after oversees travels, enterpreneurs, miliatry and part-timers ...
As it was my first proper trial, I was nervous and made a small error on one of the forms. The doctor who screened me was incredibly rude, patronising and hostile about this and for the rest of the screening process; so much so that I took the decision to walk out rather than being treated so poorly. I was also concerned by a comment she made suggesting that HMR reserve the right to make changes to a trial midway through it. This gives HMR a dangerous and unaccountable amount of power over its participants and suggests they just want you to completely sign over yourself to them and not ask any questions. I would avoid this company and go with a more reputable clinical trial provider, such as Covance.
