From the start I will be honest anyone, including myself might be abit nervous or sceptical, but being able to be part of such an amazing experience is a feeling that I left the quarantine with, from start to finish my questions were answered, I felt safe at all times, the staff have a positive attitude and do excellent work and are incredible friendly, quarantine was a breeze I had a ps5, tv, unlimited snacks and beverages, I would recommend this to everyone, go make a difference and be part of something that helps people not just in the uk but all around the world, thank you flucamp

Just recently had a 2 week stay for a clinical trial and everything went really well. Everyone was professional and courteous, especially Adeola, the staff member who took my bloods. She was absolutely fantastic and very professional.

Honestly loved almost all of my quarantine experience, it felt like an escape at times. The view was amazing, staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was hearty. Would absolutely recommend and personally I would definitely do it again!

Very organised process and also friendly staff, who are there to help with anything. I felt very comfortable throughout all appointments and the quarantine phase itself!

Nice little break from life with the excuse to be lazy. I was lucky (as I've been told by staff) to have the corner room, offering a beautiful view of Tower Bridge lit up at night on one side, and a chance to people-watch in the park from the other. Although from the 25th floor, the people looked more like ants!

Being over 40, my main reason for starting this was for a health check screening. To my surprise, I passed, though only half of us from the last health check did; the rest were referred to specialists for various issues (two of the guys next to me had heart conditions they didn't know about).

The food was good, massive portions with plenty of snacks. The staff were friendly, and the tests were fine. I was lucky not to get sick and managed to work remotely, which made the time fly by. However, I caught a glimpse of a room without windows on my way out, and it looked pretty grim. I had a stellar experience, but I can’t imagine it being the same without a view.

Going through the whole process helped me cut back on my 'social' smoking and drinking, which is a plus. I’d definitely do it again.

I stayed the full course of 11 nights with fluCamp in their new Canary wharf facilities and it was very peaceful, smart and organised. You quickly get used to the programme and routines of each day. The tests last a very short amount of time -several times a day - but for the most part you're left to your own devises to work, relax, watch tv and play the PS5. The view I had was glorious, 25th floor in the centre of Canary Wharf - but some rooms haven't got windows so it's the luck of the draw. I enjoyed my little holiday away from the madness of real life.
The food is nice, with daily selections made through the app that they tell you about. They also come around with snacks and drinks everyday. The staff were very friendly, calm and very knowledgeable throughout, from the very first screening till my final visit. I am already preplanning my next visit in a few months time !

Hello everyone.
I’m very happy with my experience in Flu camp (Canary Wharf). I stayed there 11 nights in July 2024 and can’t recommend enough this place.
I had a beautiful view from 25th floor and nice, clean, new room with tv, massive windows and new clean shower and toilet. Food was great, breakfast lunch and dinner plus snacks, juices, fruits etc, so you’re never hungry. TV is a smart tv so you can watch Netflix, YouTube etc.
I was lucky not getting ill at all so for me it was just like a holiday, laying watching movies all day and sleeping or watching London from 25th floor. Staff was very friendly and professional, didn’t bother you unless it’s needed. I had a solid 8 hours sleep without distribution from 10:30pm till 6:30am. Also I was able to work from my room online. Payments were sent regularly without delay straight to my account.
Overall my experience was great with no complaints. Highly recommend this company and definitely will comeback again for another trial!
Thank you.

Think VERY carefully before you start jumping through hoops for them…
you will be expected to make multiple visits to London (£100 a visit travelling expenses gets you half a train journey from Manchester)

You will be expected to give up,
Alcohol
Caffeine
Exercise
Fizzy drinks
Cigs/vapes
Vitamins (?)
Have a bmi under 35 (their measure not the more generous nhs measure)

You will need to do 2 appointments in Manchester,

Then 3 appointments in London

Then, when you are admitted to quarantine you have to do a full day of the same assessments again and if you have any issues like I did (an underlying cold which I knew nothing about) you are ejected from the premises asap

The team in London will look down their nose at you and treat you with suspicion.

It sounds great £3000 for simple visits however, read the above again and be prepared for all this over a near 3 month window of non stop pestering and feeling like you have all your freedoms eroded…part of me is glad I got ejected. Mostly I regret signing up in the first place as I ended up losing money with all the travelling from Manchester to London ( 4 return trips in all) and I just got miserable from all the cuts I had to make from my diet (if you drink tea or coffee regularly I do not envy you the nausea and razor sharp headaches you will get from cutting caffeine out).

The facility room I stayed in today was averagely clean, I walked around in my bare feet and they were fluffy from dust…the phlebotomists do not change their gloves when moving from one bed to the next when taking clients blood.

I was one of the few unfortunate participants who didn't get a window! This was a lot more taxing than expected, however they did make up for it with good air conditioning, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was most stimulating enjoyable part of the duration, especially the different lunches and dinners every day(with exception to the pizza, that was horrible). Spending two weeks relaxing, watching TV, gaming, and catching up on sleep while earning money. I'd do it again, though it's more mentally challenging in the summer especially after knowing id need to go through 2 weeks without sunlight. If I'm unlucky

I thought the rooms were nice, air con & you get looked after, the staff were good & very pleasant. You’re seen to several times a day for temperature checks, nasal swabs & vitals. I liked the majority of the food, the breakfast options were the best. I felt it’s worth taking 2 weeks to chill, watch tv, have gaming time & catch up on sleep to make a lump sum of money & to donate DNA for a good cause. I’d do it again in the future but doing it in summertime probably makes it that but harder mentally.

Great facilities, room with a beautiful city view was great.
Great snacks!
Wish the quality of food was better but still found something to eat.. jacket potato’s and sandwiches were best option.

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.
