Making Technology Accessible Research

Do you use assistive technology for online tasks? We need you!

We're looking for people from across the UK to take part in a new research project with the Health Research Authority (HRA). The HRA works to protect and promote the interests of patients and the public in health and social care research and is currently developing a new integrated digital service with its partners. It is vital this new service works for everyone. We need to test it with people with disabilities and those using assistive technology. This feedback will directly shape and improve the experience of the new service for everyone.

Taking part in this project will involve participating in an online testing session for up to 90 minutes. The session will involve answering some questions about online accessibility requirements and/or assistive technology and then logging into the service using a 'test' account (details provided by us) and sharing your screen so we can observe interactions with the service. As a thank you for your time and input, you'll receive £40 for taking part.

We are looking to hear from all different perspectives so if you're interested, apply now!

When completing the form please answer carefully and as honestly as possible, there are no right or wrong answers, all answers will be looked at individually when checking that you are applicable for the research.

If it looks like you'll be a fit for the research based on your application, a member of the team will be in touch to go through a couple of questions and see if we can get you booked in to take part.
