Participant Reviews
Don't listen to us - hear from the people who allow us to do what we do. Our Linear participants!
First medical trial of my life and the experience was really good. The food was good, the wrokers and the other participants here were really kind and made the 20 days go faster. If I... have the opportunity I will definitely come back again ! :)read more
Excellent experience. The hospital was clean and well maintained. All the staff were very helpful, caring and professional. They made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Thank you... for the wonderful care.read more
The staff are really amazing and made the stay. The food and amenities were also nice enough given you're paid to be there
Very good food and staff. There isn't much to complain except if you're a subject and you get a cannula as they're soo annoying haha. But honestly would go again :]
not bad at all, but not sure why it’s so hard to call them on phone, sometimes you’re on hold for hours
Great experience. World class facility. Fabulous team. Highly rate my experience.
Amazing experience! The entire stay was so comfortable, and the staff were absolutely incredible and friendly. They were all laughing and keeping the mood light, which made everything... feel so much less scary. They looked after us incredibly well and I honestly have zero complaints. Would definitely recommend!read more
I had a very memorable experience with Linear Research. Two weeks ago, I was almost dosed in a trial, but unfortunately was excluded just two hours before. I felt very sad and confused at... the time, especially after being told I had high bilirubin, which I didn’t understand at all.However, I quickly applied for another trial, and the very next day I was invited back for screening. A lovely lady with a Scottish accent called me, she was so kind and patient, and gave me a second chance, which I truly appreciated.Dr Peter is an excellent doctor. He explained everything about bilirubin in a very clear and detailed way, and carefully showed me how to do the breath test for the lung trial. He is also very gentle and respectful, which made me feel comfortable during the physical examination.The nurses are absolute superstars, very kind, professional, and supportive. My veins are very small, and it took a few tries to get blood, but they were patient and even helped each other to make sure I was okay throughout.Although I didn’t pass the second screening either, I still feel very grateful for the experience. From the front desk to the Joondalup trial centre, all the staff are amazing. You feel safe, cared for, and respected at all times. The food was also surprisingly great: the mash , gravy, and lamb shank were honestly some of the best I’ve had☺️Even though I only stayed one night and didn’t end up joining a trial, this experience taught me a lot about my health. Linear is a trustworthy place where you can get detailed health checks, support scientific research, and meet wonderful people along the way.As a teacher, this is an experience I wouldn’t normally have, and I feel lucky to have gone through it. Thank you to the Linear team— you’re doing an amazing job - for the patients who need new medications , and also for the trail participants. All the best to everyone🍀read more
Hello, I would like to give a 4-star rating, but I have not been able to reach your Participant Experience Team.I’m interested in taking part in the clinical studies and have already... applied. I have made several enquiries and tried calling, but no one has answered the phone.** Updated**My friend has sent you an email regarding the call back! Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.Thank youread more
Highly disappointing, we ran out of conventional treatments, leading to chemotherapy or trials. I note no other cancer patient review exist, so here goes,Upon our experience, be... prepared to constantly be required to attend appointments and receive no reports. Don’t bother asking for help as it does not exist. Their preference is to fast track Human Resources to shut you down, without due cause as opposed to drilling down to the actual problem. You will be discounted because you have cancer. Refer to emails, we were looking for help, you company was busy trying to kick us out..Hi Linear OwnerThanks for responding, if indeed your company is looking to improve systems and the charter of rights are adhered to- I would be willing to provide a detailed account of my experience as my mothers sole carer and financial provider. At the end of the day, I was looking for full transparency, and confidence within the trial system and needed your system to be fully functional for mums best health outcomes. I note, your company understands this, so why did it become personal and directed at me simply for asking questions? The information on offer only lead to more to more questions. Where is it written that questions are not allowed? To be clear we were all in because we had benefited from those before us and wanted to add to the collective. You have my email.read more
The team is highly professional, making the environment extremely welcoming. The meals were excellent. Overall, it was a great experience. I only missed having access to some sunlight,... considering the three overnight stays during the trial, but that is a minor detail.read more
I worked part-time as a Project Assistant at Linear Clinical Research for about 10-11 weeks (three days a week). The role was poorly defined, with no clear guidance or documentation.... Everyone gave different instructions and there was no real support or teamwork. When a colleague was absent, all their work has handed to me with no help or supervision, and I was later let go without giving a fair chance. Overall, expectations were unrealistic, management is uncoordinated and experience is stressful, I always regret to choosing this offer letter instead of other one.read more
Screening and Trial staff are great, however its been 3 weeks waiting for payment for participation and STILL waiting, and very difficult to get hold of admin via phone and email. Not... good enoughread more
I have now taken part in 3 trials and feel very well looked after during them. The staff are so professional yet friendly and make sure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as they... can. It's rewarding knowing your helping with medication for those who need it.read more
I had a great experience participating in a clinical research study with Linear Clinic.It was a privilege to be accepted into the trial, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to... contribute to important vaccine research.The staff were amazing-professional, friendly and supportive throughout the process.I felt well informed and comfortable at every stage.I would be happy to participate in future clinical trials if I’m suitable.read more
The staff is amazing—kind and supportive. The clinic is clean and tidy. I highly recommend it!
Had a really good experience with Linear Clinical research from start to finish. Very professional, compassionate people, that make sure you are at ease and comfortable with everything... going on. Even made new friends on the trial and other trials happening at the same time.Would recommend giving a trial a go, to be able to help research for new treatments is a feel good factor ☺️read more
My experience at Linear was great. The staff were very friendly and looked after us very well. I was also in there with a lovely group of ladies so that helped. I would recommend it to... anyone. Would definitely do it again.read more
I recently completed a 10-day clinical trial with Linear, and my experience was amazing. The staff were very nice, friendly, and professional, which made the process smooth and... comfortable. The food was alright and I would be happy to stay again for future trials.read more
The staff were very professional and friendly and the clinic seems to be well-run. Before making the appointment I specified on the phone the dates that I would be available for and the... ones I wouldn't. After reading the documents, going to the appointment and passing the screening test I was offered to be a "back up" for the dates I specified I wasn't available for.I understand that they have to test extra participants in case someone fails the health check or pulls out last minute but it appeared to me that they already knew the dates available for me were filled before I even went to the appointment - I would recommend more transparency in the future to avoid wasting someone's time.read more
Such a fun experience and all whilst helping medical research. Food is delicious and the staff are lovely ☺️
Fantastic experience and great knowing I'm helping the next generation with the trial medication I was dosed with.Food was catered in and staff on the hospital stay were amazingly happy... and friendly but serious too.Follow ups were a breeze and the nurses were so gentle taking blood samples that you are literally in and out.Thanks Linear clinical research perth.I highly recommend.read more
I’d like to complement dozens of previous reviews from happy reviewers by addressing Linear team and future volunteers.Liner Team:Guys, you’re literally the best! I’m a middle age... professional who worked in various industries. What I saw and experienced, while doing a number of trials with your team, is that the synergy, the coherence, the friendliness, professionalism, respect and easy-going environment make your team unique – a family! Believe me, there are not many teams out there that are like yours and a significant number of companies are actively investing and trying to create the team environment you already have in place. Please nurture it. This is what makes us – patients – to return, not the monetary reward we get, not the food or quite time, but the spirit of your amazing team!Future volunteers:For those of you who are contemplating whether to participate in one of the trials or not, let me tell you something. Clinical Trial, by its nature, is an experiment. You might be surprised, but we all experiment on our bodies without even noticing this! There is a difference between running an experiment ‘blindly’ (smoking, alcohol consumption, eating new unfamiliar food or driving sleep deprived) – uncontrolled, completely unaware, or perhaps aware, but without medical assistance at hand; and running an experiment ‘cautiously’ in a controlled, structured and methodical way when multiple independent medical professionals and Australian Human Research Ethics Committee (if I recall correctly) assess the process, safety, risks and are ready to help should it be required. Linear trials are the world class ‘cautious’ experiments, as I call them. When I say World Class – I mean, literally, they are one of the best clinical research facilities in the world. I was a bit worried when participated in my first trial, but what I went through completely vanished my concerns.First, they do comprehensive initial screening to make sure a participant will not have ANY possible side effects from the trial. And this is the best part, to me at least: I get FREE and SCRUPULOUS professional medical assessment! We all know that prevention is the best cure. Well, this is when Linear doctors could notice some issues that do not yet manifest themselves and when they eventually do, it might be too late (e.g. pre-diabetes, HIV, Hep B, platelets, ECG abnormalities, etc). So it is of a great benefit to find any abnormalities early in order to address them before severe or acute symptoms force us to go to a GP.Then, if medical assessment is deem acceptable, you are provided with a Consent Form, where the trial is described in a great detail and all previous scientific evidence pertaining to this trial are presented and explained, including animal and human trials. During one-on-one conversation you could ask Linear licensed physician all the questions you might have regarding the trial. This is where I go wild and shoot all the ‘stupid’ questions I come up with! They answer all :-) If for some reasons you don’t like what you hear, you can always withdraw. And this is another great benefit of such trials: you ALWAYS could withdraw if for whatever reason you don’t like it.During the trial, it may get a bit too busy, but the team manages this very well. And they care after patients like mum cares after her child! Seriously! You’ll be well looked after while there. When trial is completed, there are normally follow up visits during which doctors and nurses do complete follow up examination. They even pay attention to the minor scratches I normally don’t even notice! You’ll get your compensation after the completion of the trial. And a months later you’ll start thinking to apply for another one :-) I promise you’ll do!I hope this was helpful. It might seem somewhat too long, but I through it was worth the effort to go through this in more details. I have no affiliation with Linear nor any of its nurses or doctors. This is an honest and personal review I believe the Linear team deserves and future volunteers would be interested to read.read more
Thank you so much to the wonderful Doctors, Nurses and all other staff at the Linear Clinic! The entire team at Linear are extremely professional, knowledgeable and take pride in what... they do. All the staff are very kind and caring and make sure you are healthy and well before they do anything. I felt very safe and assured throughout the entire process, from screening to being admitted to being discharged. Communication is excellent and the information that is sent is very thorough and clearly written. They take great care of each patient and I would highly recommend anyone who is eligible to participate if you can! It was such a great experience to stay for 3 nights/4 days and now just recently, I stayed for 11 days… I would love to do it again in a heartbeat. From being able to relax, study, play Mario Kart with the other participants to having movie nights, you definitely won’t be bored! The food was delicious and they cater really well for vegans and for other dietary requirements too if you have them! Helping the future of medicine and medical research should be enough reason to take part of the trials, the rest is just a bonus! :)read more
Done 3 studies now. The team at linear are caring professionals. Will almost certainly be back again.
Extremely friendly and capable staff. I have done a couple studies and every one has been perfectly streamlined from beginning to end.
Staff was very friendly and well-disposed. The facilities where very nice and clean and food could not be complained about. A great chance to catch a break by laying in bed with no chores!
Participated in a 4-day clinical trial; Definitely a better experience than I had expected! Catering was good, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. Since participants can't... go out, perhaps a few artificial plants to add some green would help to spruce up the commons. It would certainly make longer stays more appealing.read more
