About Flu Camp

The concept of Flu Camp is simple. Retroscreen Virology would have conducted several clinical trials each year, many of which required volunteers to stay in a quarantine unit. The staff at Retroscreen Virology would affectionately refer to these studies as Flu Camp. Thus flucamp.com was born.

The aim of these clinical trials is to develop new or better drugs or vaccines to fight respiratory virus infections and hopefully save lives. When dealing with colds, flu and other respiratory viruses it is necessary to work inside a quarantine unit. The Flu Camp quarantine unit is usually situated in new student accommodation or a hotel.

We pride ourselves on the facilities we provide. Volunteers can expect a very comfortable room, sharing with only one other volunteer; en suite bathroom; wireless internet access; three meals a day; TV's and play station!

Our studies are conducted to the highest standards and under International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) guidelines - an International ethical and scientific quality standard for clinical trials.
