Warning Alert

We are aware that some patients are not receiving MyCare authentication emails, including two‑factor authentication codes.

Our support team is investigating. Initial checks show that the emails are being sent correctly, but the reason they are not reaching some patients is still under review.

Thank you for your patience while we resolve this.

More than being a study participant

Our research aims to improve the care and lives of our patients. In order to deliver this promise we need help from our patients, their carers and the public. Clinical research is not just about taking part in a specific study - there are many other ways to get involved.

Patients already attend sessions and hear what we are doing with their revised hip implants, and we have held meetings with participants who feel as if they had been of use to our researchers. Be our research champion!
