Friendly staff, everything is well explained and an easy way to get money while helping others.

Pros : Really friendly staff (nurses and admissions teams), convenient food ordering service with lots of choice, money was sorted quickly and conveniently, and most of the tests and procedures were carried out without any hassle.

Cons: No window (I don't understand how someone could give 5 stars with the same complaint, this was driving me insane, especially because other people on the same trial had windows, I felt this was really unfair), I was only confirmed that I was going to flucamp about ten days before my admission date (this meant booking transport was really expensive as I was coming from the other side of the country).

Overall, I would definitely recommend if you don't mind being by yourself and can keep yourself entertained.

Although the experience by it's nature was definitely neither a breeze nor a holiday (except the first week only!), I'm giving 5-stars because of how great the nurses and doctors are. Obviously a clinical trial cannot be so very easy to get through or the whole country will be queuing up to take part in it, but that's not the fault of anyone, it is just the nature of the thing itself, and the staff at FluCamp are really so genuinely awesome, that they do take the edge of some off the distressing aspects of the trial (i.e. the bloods). I cannot think of one area where the FluCamp team need to improve in. They should just keep up the good work.

Everyone was kind to me, and most of the nurses show real concern and sympathy, and always did their best to help out and make things as comfortable as possible. I have to give special thanks to Shaheedah for her exceptional kindness to me and the concern she showed, and to Durga for her spontaneous sweetness, and to Diana for her smiling, pleasant manner. There is another lady who made me peppermint tea at night when I had some strange sensations in my tummy, I want to really say thank you to you all, and to the other female nurses especially, you're all truly amazing. Thank you sincerely.

Anna and the kitchen team are also genuinely kind and accommodating. I will not describe myself as fussy about my meals, but I do have minimalist tendencies, which the kitchen team always patiently ad cheerfully accommodated, such as when I request for nothing to be added to my porridge or on top of my jacket potato, or no dressing at all for my salad. I prefer things plain, for the most part. I am impressed by how much they really respect and guard our food choices, because once I ordered a jacket potato and the app apparently sent something with chicken instead, and they called to find out if I really ordered chicken since I am vegetarian. That pleased me much. Also, whenever I don't order breakfast the kind nurses always are concerned, they don't just ignore it or pass it by, they will come round and ask if there was anything I want, and they would send me some apples/bananas. Much appreciated!

If you are thinking of taking part, I will encourage you without further ado, unless you have small veins, because there will be dozens of blood-work in the second week and it can get distressing, but I made it through with patience, and so you can. I that had never had a needle on me before, and am distressed by even the sight of blood in a clinical container. Just look away completely, don't let yourself see anything until it is over and you can pat your poor arm and shed a tear over it for comfort if need be.

Anyway, I am pleased that the team are interested to hear of our experience and keen to identify areas for improvement. Betty R called yesterday and was genuinely interested in hearing about my suggestions and overall experience. I do appreciate that a lot, and she was easy to talk to and a good listener. It matters a lot who follows up on these things because it all depends on how they come across on the phone, and I felt completely at my ease with Betty.

For prospective volunteers, the only thing to worry about is the second week's blood-work. Food is good quality, everyone is awesome, rooms are comfortable.

Friendly staff, good food and a chance to reset, also giving something back, doing your bit for future generations. Overall a great experience to be part of, would highly recommend!

Relaxing 2 weeks doing clinical trial. Money was sorted quickly on completion.
Pros-Staff were good
-Food was decent, not great but decent and good portions.
-money settled quick (4,200)
Cons- I didnt have a window (new facility however does).

Overall fantastic experience great to have 2 weeks to rest and ill definitely be looking to do it again.

Amazing experience at Whitechapel facility. Friendly staff, good communications from everyone, food good, room nice! Looking forward to returning in the future! Well worth sitting in a room by yourself for 2 weeks getting the mooolarrrr

Had an amazing experience with Flucamp i did a 12 day quarantine at their canary wharf facility, the staff are always so kind and i dont have one bad word to say about them and the food was also surprisingly good.

They always let you know the plans for the day and what is to be expected so everything goes smoothly. I was a bit hesitant to how i would be able to cope but the time flew by as they have things such as gaming devices and tv in the room, i also had a beautiful view which made my stay alot nicer.

Very nice staff, they had very good communication, very good opportunity. Good amount of money.

I spent 15 days at the Whitechapel clinic, and it was a great time. Like everyone, I was incentivised by the compensation, but my experience at Flu Camp was great.

All of the staff were lovely and friendly, from the receptionists to the doctors. The nurses and clinical staff were absolutely amazing; I always felt safe and well-informed.

The food was nearly always excellent. Some meals were certainly better than others, but they were mostly all piping hot, balanced, and tasty. My advice? Get the soups for lunch, as they were genuinely delicious. There was plenty of variety, and ordering on the app was incredibly easy. The rooms also came with various snacks, and de-caf tea and coffee.

The actual clinical trial aspect was straightforward, and though it was, at times, uncomfortable and unpleasant, it was all manageable. I'm a little squeamish about needles and blood, but I found that I very quickly acclimatised to providing blood samples. Having a cannula put in for days at a time was somewhat unpleasant, but that's to be expected. Everything was explained clearly to me, and again, the staff were great. However, for most of my time at Flu Camp, all the medical stuff probably took up no more than 40 minutes of the day, if that. That being said, I wasn't one of the people who had to provide blood samples throughout the night.

The room and facilities were basic, with a fairly standard private hospital room setting, but everything was in good shape, clean, and comfortable. My room didn't have a window, and I thought that the lack of natural light would get to me, but I actually got used to it very quickly. I made sure to bring plenty of books and personal entertainment with me (my laptop, tablet, Switch), you are in the room throughout the trial so it's important to keep yourself occupied.

My advice to people doing Flu Camp?
> Bring warm socks, the rooms are kept cold.
> Bring an eye mask as the staff need visible access to the rooms at all times and it can be bright at night
> Make sure to bring plenty of things to do.

What could be improved about Flu Camp?
> Name tags for staff
> A greater amount of teas and snacks in the room. I felt like I was always asking the staff for more milk, sugar, cups, etc, etc.
> A rough daily schedule to better plan my day around the medical tests.
> An extra pillow for the bed

Honestly, I can't recommend it highly enough for the amount of money and the quality of care that Flu Camp provides. I would 100% like to do Flu Camp again, this time hopefully at their new facility in Canary Wharf.

Had my quarantine and the Canary wharf facility which was a surprise because the rooms were nice had air con and a great view with floor to ceiling windows on suite bathroom with shower and a smart TV with ps5 and very important to me was a fast WiFi connection at around 150mb.

There was a nice selection of snacks juices and decaf tea and coffee which you can get at any time with a button. The meals were great and flavourful with breakfast at 8.15 lunch at 12.30 and dinner at 17.00, and over my 10 day stay I did not have and 2 days with the same main course which was a surprise for me.

the staff were nice and friendly and very attentive overall it was a good experience and I'll definitely sign up again for it again because I had no symptoms so it was mole like a vacation for me.

I recently finished my 12 day stay with flu camp in there facility in Canary Wharf. Throughout the process every possible attempt was made to make me feel comfortable, informed, entertained, looked after and well fed. The staff cannot do enough for you whilst you’re there and often stay and chat with you in your room when they come to do your vitals. They always ask if you need anything extra if there is anything they can do and as I say always keep informing you about what is happening and when. If you work from home like I do then this is a perfect opportunity to get paid whilst getting paid. The room is very quiet and when you’re not working there is a TV on the wall opposite the bed with all the streaming channels available if you have the subscriptions. The PS5 only had one game which was rocket league which was fun and broke up the tv watching and laptop work. I will definitely come back and do FluCamp again and would recommend it to anyone who like me who has a flexible diary.

There was a stark contrast between the traumatic ordeal my friends and family presumed I was putting myself through, and what in reality was just a battle with boredom.
Despite spending many hours working alone at home, and having plenty of projects to keep me busy at FluCamp, the minimal comforts of the small quarantine room can eventually become monotonous.

There was always a chance of not getting a room with a window, but I didn't manage my expectations there and was disappointed with my short straw. It didn't seem like an issue initially but definitely affected my sleep and mood after 16 days. I'm a light sleeper anyhow and this with all the peripheral noise added up to feeling quite sleep-deprived by the time I left.
I felt for the other 'campers' who also had to do their blood tests though the night.

The days with lots of testing became appreciated to make the days pass quicker, whereas the days were you just see the team for meals drag on.
The meals were surprisingly good, in quality, variety and portion size, supplemented by a good range of healthy snacks. With the lack of exercise, this helped pack on a few extra kgs!

I should highlight that the team were always friendly and helpful, bringing a welcome bit of interaction and conversation.

Overall I had a good experience from screening through to quarantine and would likely do it again at some point.

Great experience. Well looked after with chatty helpful staff. Really easy to work your day job while at the quarantine location and yummy food

Flu camp was very enjoyable for me. Each stage was quick and easy. I loved the free health checks. Flu camp check everything with bloods, urine, blood pressure and your getting paid for your time.
Communication was great. Phone calls and emails with updates and next steps.
Quarantine was fantastic! The room was clean and had everything you need. Food was amazing ! Freshly cooked and you can choose what you want daily.
Lots of snacks.
Staff are really friendly and helpful.

BIG SHOUTOUT TO…..
Farah, Mallaree, Sami, Diana !!! They were so kind and chatty. Made you feel at ease.
The compensation was well worth it.

I will definitely be coming back to flu camp on the next trial.

Had an absolutely amazing experience at the flucamp. Gave me a reasonably good time away from the whole daily hustle and bustle of life and a good time for some self reflections that was very much needed.

Thanks to the amazing staff and I met some really nice new friends too. I will recommend this to anyone who needs some time off and also wants to earn some extra quid to go with it. Thank you for the experience

I would definitely recommend Flu Camp to anyone who works from home!

I thought I would hate being stuck in one room but working really helped me get through it and I rarely actually got that bored.

The food was mostly really nice and the facilities were pleasant, though you may struggle if you end up without a window like I did. You also have to be prepared for not much sleep, as you have to undergo tests quite late at night and early in the morning.

Overall it was a good experience that I’d do again. Definitely worth it for the amount of compensation you get!

My experience at FluCamp was the best! Lovely staffs, good food and great amenities.
I had the best 10 days break 😃

Seamless process and really friendly members of staff. An easy way to earn som quick money too !!

Get paid for a 2 week break. What is not to like?
The room is comfortable enough and the food is decent. My main bit of advice is to make sure you bring plenty of stuff to do

Would recommend this to anyone! Staff are so nice and helpful and good it great!
