Frequently asked questions
How is the amount of compensation determined?
This depends on the length of your stay and on the number of treatments carried out during the research. The compensation is determined per study and approved by the Medical Ethics Review Committee (MERC).
Where do I stay during my participation?
QPS Nederland has 2 research clinics in Groningen. Our main research clinic is on the grounds of the University Medical Centre Groningen. While our second clinic and screening centre is located opposite the main entrance of the hospital.
What can I expect?
Do you wonder what a day in our clinic looks like? You are not the only one! When you participate in clinical trials (at QPS or elsewhere) for the first time, there is a lot to discover. What do you do with your time, what are the other participants like, how friendly are the doctors and nursing staff? But also: what is expected of you?
A day in a clinic differs per clinical trial, but all studies have a number of elements in common. Below, we will outline a sample situation and take you through a stay with us in the clinic. What does your actual research period look like? That depends on the clinical trial in which you participate. It will be explained to you when you arrive at the clinic.

Is this clinical trial safe?
Participation in a clinical trial is safer than driving in traffic. This is because the government (the Medical Ethics Review Committee) and QPS put your safety first. For example, there are clear laws and they are properly monitored. In addition, our experienced team of doctors and nurses ensures that your participation is safe and pleasant.
