Fact Friday:The term “hay fever” came about before the medical community understood the cause of allergic rhinitis, a reaction to the fine pollen released into the air by flowering trees and plants. Because symptoms would strike during the time of the hay harvest, when these pollens would be in the air, the condition was called hay fever. While it’s possible to be allergic to hay, usually people with hay fever are allergic to the pollen of grasses, trees and weeds.

This is an amazing place and doing fabulous ground-breaking work

Professional very caring, fully explain on the structure of a clinical trials, each member of staff are most caring and easy to approach üòÑ

My wife has been offered a Clinical Trial and the explanation of what to expect is fantastic and now awaits to be called. They have been helpful throughout.

MEU are awesome! the staff friendly and they take you through each stage making sure you are fully aware of what is happening next. They make your stay, and some days its looooonnnggg , really educating. I discovered a lot about my COPD. Id do another trail in a heartbeat and I was worried the first time but not now

Lovely staff and a really nice unit very reassuring doctors and nurses

Just took part in my first study and have too say very well looked after all the staff can't do enough too look after you....would recommend this place too anyone thinking about taking part

I've done a couple of sessions at the MEU for a chronic cough. I was always made to feel welcome and relaxed, and the facilities are great. Nice to know I've helped with research, and been compensated well. Would recommend it to others in a position to assist the advancement of research.

I went for the first time this year I was a little nervous but the staff were so nice and professional. I now look forward to help them.

I recently did my first trial at the MEU,I was a little nervous but was immediately reassured by the warm welcome I received. My stay involved overnight stays and all I can say is,if you are thinking of doing a trial, then please don't hesitate,all the staff are helpful and friendly,nothing is too much trouble,their professionalism,consideration and support is a credit to the MEU,when the trial was over,I was sad to leave the unit. A happy & enjoyable experience,I can't wait for my next trial.

I recently did my first trial at the MEU, I was a little nervous to be truthful but was immediately reassured by the warm welcome I received. My trial involved overnight stays which concerned me because of me having children, but I was reassured instantly because they could visit unlimited and all I can say is it was a very relaxing stay. If you're ever considering a trial then please don't hesitate, all the staff are helpful and friendly (especially Shona), nothing was too much trouble, their professionalism, consideration and support was overwhelming and certainly is a credit to the MEU, when the trial was over i have to be honest I was sad to leave. A happy & enjoyable experience, I can't wait for my next trial.

I have enjoyed the trails I have done, all the staff are friendly and I got to meet some really nice friendly people. Look forward to doing more.

I have attended this unit a few times now with my most recent being a treatment yesterday, I had a bronchoscopy.

I must admit i was a little nervous but everyone here was so lovely and reassuring and put me at ease. the procedure went well and i actually feel really proud that i have been able to help with the research. The fact i got paid was an added bonus. If you can help out i would definitely recommend having a chat. no pressure is put on you and they are so down to earth and friendly. thanks guys and hope to see you soon :-)

I have always found the staff so lovely whenever I have been here, they make u feel relaxed and always look after you........

I always look forward to doing trials at the MEU The Staff are so welcoming and friendly and their professionalism is without question. They are like a second family and the work they do is so important and vital in prolonging life!.

I Have not been as closely involved with MEU since moving to Abergele after retiring, but I find the information very helpful, espescially today's European report on moulds and damp.

Great place doing great work, and you get a free health check MOT when you are on a trial, so cant be bad!

Been going for nearly 20 years. Always well looked after and the staff are brilliant. Facilities great. Go for it you wont regret it.
