Hi Everyone..
Not sure if I am allowed to put this on here..so appologies if I am not! here it goes.....
This would be best suited to people who have 10 days to 2 weeks to spare.. but from my understanding there is also a chance to undertake further trials which may not last so long.
A little bit about Flu Camp below..taken from their website..
The concept of Flu Camp is simple. Retroscreen Virology would have conducted several clinical trials each year, many of which required volunteers to stay in a quarantine unit. The staff at Retroscreen Virology would affectionately refer to these studies as Flu Camp. Thus flucamp.com was born.
The aim of these clinical trials is to develop new or better drugs or vaccines to fight respiratory virus infections and hopefully save lives. When dealing with colds, flu and other respiratory viruses it is necessary to work inside a quarantine unit. The Flu Camp quarantine unit is usually situated in new student accommodation or a hotel.
We pride ourselves on the facilities we provide. Volunteers can expect a very comfortable room, sharing with only one other volunteer; en suite bathroom; wireless internet access; three meals a day; TV's and play station!
Our studies are conducted to the highest standards and under International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) guidelines - an International ethical and scientific quality standard for clinical trials.
For inclusion into our database
