Research is vital to improving patient care and treatments. At Oxford Health, it helps us understand conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and dementia, and develop better treatments. But research can’t happen without people. That’s where Count Me In comes in.

Instead of relying solely on clinicians to identify participants, Count Me In allows our research team to contact you directly if a study is relevant. You’ll have the choice to take part, ask questions, or opt out at any time.

This approach means:

• More people will hear about research
• Studies will recruit faster
• Research will better reflect our diverse communities
• Patients will be offered more opportunities to engage with research.

Your information is protected, and your involvement is always your choice. If you’ve used Oxford Health services in the last five years, you may be contacted, but only if you haven’t opted out.

Count Me In is about making research more inclusive, efficient and impactful. It’s about giving you the chance to shape the future of care.

Preliminary findings from Oxford Health’s ‘Count Me In’ pilot project in 2021 showed significant improvements in research inclusivity and recruitment. In just three months, over 8,000 patients became contactable demonstrating a 400% increase, with approx. 20% of those contacted consenting to participate.
