Join the CHARIOT Register and earn up to £500
Since 2012, we have collaborated with GP surgeries to encourage people to get involved in dementia prevention and ageing research. We have worked with 172 GP surgeries in London and are always looking to work with more. Encouraging your patients to join the CHARIOT Register requires minimal input from you.
We are offering £300 to small surgeries and £500 to big surgeries.
If you are a GP or a practice manager and would like to work with the CHARIOT Register, please email your name, surgery name and contact details to chariot.register@imperial.ac.uk.
Please find more information in our Register Information for GPs document (Doc).
Current Studies
CHARIOT COVID-19 Rapid Response study (CCRR)
A collaborative initiative run from Imperial College London between groups within the School of Public Health and the National Heart and Lung Institute. A key objective of this study is to examine, and track over time, the age-group specific prevalence of past symptomatic COVID-19 infection and incidence (new cases) of symptomatic COVID-19 infection in older adults (50+ years) in London and the surrounding area. This will enable the ‘real-time’ monitoring of the pandemic in a small geographical area, linking self-reported community disease surveillance (proxy for mild to moderate disease) with laboratory-confirmed disease surveillance (proxy for disease requiring hospitalisation).
Secondly, we aim to measure the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and preventive measures (social isolation/distancing) on the mental and physical well-being of the population. We hope these findings will Identify lifestyle, biomedical and psychosocial factors that determine vulnerability and resilience to COVID-19 infection.
The study has invited ~40,000 CHARIOT register participants, to complete an online questionnaire weekly for up to a year. The Register participants may also refer members of their household to participate, provided they are aged 18+. The weekly questionnaire will contain questions surround COVID-19 symptomology and exposure risks. Participants will also be asked questions surrounding their health behaviour and wellbeing 6-weekly.
CHARIOT:PRO Substudy 2
Participants that were excluded from the CHARIOT: PRO Substudy in a randomised process are being invited to attend a one-off visit at the Research Hub at Charing Cross Hospital. They will complete further testing and samples.
This study is no longer seeking new volunteers.
Volunteers who have consented to join the CHARIOT register are invited to participate in our research studies.

The CHARIOT: PRO Substudy
An observational study examining changes in cognition over time, and how we can best identify these at an early stage. Involves a medical health check, physical and neurological examinations and cognitive assessments.
Volunteers who have consented to join the CHARIOT register are invited to participate in our research studies.
