Anybody done this, or any other clinicial trials ?
They are quoting £4200 for 15 days' stay.
Your own en-suite room with WiFi and meals delivered to you.
You have to pass initial blood tests to be accepted and travel to London for this.
Apparently you are given daily blood tests and nose swabs whilst at the residential facility.

I'm a teacher so this could be fitted in during holidays. I have some debt I would like to pay off, 4k for 15 days would be amazing.
It's the thought of daily blood tests and nasal swabs which puts me off.
Anyone have any experience of Flucamp ?

Bloods and swabs wouldn’t bother me but symptoms of cold/flu and side effects of medication would, along with being residential in quarantine conditions.

At screening, a blood sample may be required. This is a standard procedure which is unlikely to cause any problems, but on occasion it may be uncomfortable and there is a risk of minor bruising or phlebitis (inflammation of the vein). This is something that normally clears up itself with no further trouble. Our quarantine volunteers (the volunteers who have past two screening visits and who are invited to participate in the full trial) are given a diluted virus so it’s likely that they may experience some mild cold or flu like symptoms. We often then test a new medication that we would like to fight the virus. If we are testing a new medicine, volunteers may experience some minor side effects. However, before reaching FluCamp, the medication will have already been tested on humans and passed strict safety tests
