I actually came across Quotient Sciences by accident, and when I realised, they were based less than 10 miles from home, I decided to look into them properly. They’re doing some fantastic work to advance medical science, and that really caught my interest.
For me, this study was never about the money. I wanted to do something meaningful, try something completely new, and meet new people along the way. The trial I joined is QSC303303, which includes a 20‑day home‑dosing period followed by a 31‑night residential stay. It’s my first ever clinical trial, and if I had one top tip, it would be this- bring your own pillow, an eye mask, and earplugs - especially if you end up near any snorers!
The food has been great, though choosing all 31 nights’ meals in one go was definitely a challenge. Everything I’ve had so far has been tasty. We’ve kept ourselves busy with quizzes (which we actually won!), board games, ping pong, pool, strolling around the courtyard, plenty of TV, and general socialising. There’s also been lots of reading and even a bit of holiday researching thrown in.
As for the inconvenience allowance, I’ll be spending it on my wife. She’s the most important person in my life and has been holding down the house and looking after the family for an entire month while I’ve been away - something we’ve never experienced before. She absolutely deserves it.
