Patient recruitment
A three pronged solution through our integrated ethos
Our integrated environment provides 3 foundations to effective and timely patient recruitment. Firstly, on-site access to consultants across 2 NHS Teaching Hospitals ensures expert advice on recruitment methods for specific panels. By involving these consultants during initial discussions on protocol design and feasibility, the method and timing of patient recruitment is identified and subsequently adhered to. Secondly, and through consultants recommendation, we have access to 2 hospital patient populations, covering an extensive range of conditions. Thirdly, our in-house Patient Recruitment Department operate within the same premises as the consultants and acts as a central point to efficiently co-ordinate the recruitment process.
Furthermore, we have developed our trials4patients brand, promoted through nationwide marketing and advertising strategies that are rolled out dependent on the panel requirement. Our in-house department stores patient information in our custom designed volunteer database, according to criteria such as volunteer conditions and medications. This three pronged approach ensures we deliver patient panels on time, within budget, and across a multiplicity of therapeutic areas.
