Quest5 is a patient advocacy and research initiative focused on helping people navigate clinical research and healthcare with confidence. Its understanding of “the patient” extends beyond the person living with a health condition to include family members, unpaid carers, friends and loved ones affected by a diagnosis or involved in providing support. Through education, advocacy and collaboration, Quest5 helps people ask better questions, understand information, consider options and make informed decisions.

The organisation promotes a stronger patient voice in the future of healthcare and clinical research, with an emphasis on lived experience and meaningful involvement. Its QUEST approach guides people to open conversations, turn information into knowledge, explore evidence and possibilities, develop practical strategies, and build trust through openness and ethical action.

Quest5 also offers Quest5 Conversations, a podcast featuring discussions with leaders in clinical trials, biostatistics, digital health, artificial intelligence and patient-centred research. The initiative invites patients and research partners to connect around healthcare and research, bringing lived experience together with research expertise to support more informed and collaborative decision-making.
