Hear from those who have already participated
It is important to make an informed decision when it comes to applying to participate in a research study. Wherever you are on the ‘volunteer’ journey, we know it can be helpful to learn from others.
Everyday we welcome volunteers and their study partners to the clinic from across the country and since 1999, our clinical team have met with literally thousands of individuals, each with different stories and personal experiences.
We pride ourselves in providing a warm, welcoming and friendly environment for everyone involved and welcome all feedback.
Below are testimonials from previous volunteers and study partners who have participated in a research study at the clinic.
Here are a few testimonials from our study subjects.
During my period attending the clinic I found a very congenial atmosphere and was most impressed with the staff’s attitude and dedication at all times.
George Harrison - Paisley
A very positive experience – I was reassured to discover that my memory was too good for the research study.
J C - Glasgow
Comfortable surroundings, relaxed atmosphere and professional staff during this difficult illness.
A C - Cambuslang
A pleasant day out. Happy and courteous staff, no hassle whatsoever, I will be sad if I’m not needed anymore. It’s nice to think you are helping others also. The biscuits are good too!
S Irvine - Cumbernauld
It has been very efficient all through and the treatment has been excellent. I have been treated professionally and with kindness.
Peter McKinley - Dumbarton
The clinic has been very helpful and the staff polite; my visits to the clinic have been a worthwhile experience.
Maureen Ross - Dumbarton
My total experience to date is that I am given confidence in being able to look forward to a future! Reassurance with every visit, that I can relax in the knowledge that my needs are being monitored by nursing staff. A very happy patient!
M Herve - Dundee
I have enjoyed my experience at the clinic. The staff are very helpful!
N M - Kirkintilloch
Essentially a very well run and organised clinic. Staff are so friendly, polite and informative. Time doesn’t seem to be wasted and for the carer there’s always great tea & biscuits. The clinic offers a little bit of hope for us that something is being done and perhaps this awful disease of Alzheimer’s will be a thing of the past. Research is necessary to make this happen. Long may the funding continue.
M F - Millerston
I have been attending Glasgow Memory Clinic for six months now and in that time I have found this experience to be professional and pleasant. The staff are also very respectful and attentive. I also feel that I have made some new friends here.
