Testimonials
As a nursing student, I am interested in medical research. I find doing studies at NZCR is like a paid holiday. I can come in do my trial and not worry about anything else – the cooking, the dishes all get done for me! I feel very safe and well cared for by the medical team at NZCR
Rebecca
Hi, I'm Michael. I have done several trials l with NZCR . I love contributing to medical progress. I look forward to visits, the food is amazing and there’s a massive TV with Sky and Netflix. The nurses and doctors are lovely, the care they take to do everything safely and correctly is obvious. I have experienced zero side effects from trial drugs. The clinic stays are ideal for getting away from daily distractions to focus on the trial, reading, or Netflix and you get a thorough medical check.
Michael
This my 2nd trial and it’s a long one (16 days). The hardest part is maybe getting a needle in my arm for a blood test. Otherwise, its like a retreat. I have a lot of time for study, reading & light exercise. I am fed well and enjoy talking and the nurses or other participants.
Chay
It was amazing being part of a clinical study that will aid in actual treatment of autoimmune disorders. For me contributing was personal as I have a very dear friend who suffers from this condition. You are treated really well and the Doctors are very informative and honest and encourage you to ask questions at any time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to give back to the medical field of research.

Latest News
In medical research, especially in medical trials like those carried out by NZCR, it's important that people fully understand what a clinical trial involves, as well as the risks and benefits. So, before someone joins a clinical trial, NZCR must give potential participants all the details about the study.
