650 people living with bipolar disorder have joined us.
Across the UK, and growing daily. For clinical trials and research in bipolar disorder, we count who we hold near your sites the same day, put your protocol and materials in front of them before they're final, and refer the ones who pass your screening questions and say yes, following every referral through to randomisation.
Who our bipolar disorder members are
Counted September 2026. Each member is counted once, under the main condition they told us about. Deprivation is worked out from members' postcodes using the Index of Multiple Deprivation; an even spread would put about 20% in the most deprived fifth of areas. Every member has finished onboarding and passed our sign-up checks, and conditions are self-declared, with qualifying questions.
