One of the biggest issues for the clinical trials industry is how to recruit and retain trial participants.

My focus is on ensuring your recruitment and retention strategies are set up for success, saving you time, resources, and investment.

The two main problems for recruiting patients are:

Awareness – or, more accurately, lack of awareness of potential trials.

Access – or, more accurately, lack of access to trials to participate in.

My five-step process for recruiting and retaining patients tackles these two issues head on through:

Finding – patients who may be interested in taking part in a trial.

Engaging – with patients to pique their interest in participation.

Qualifying – ensuring they meet the trial’s eligibility criteria.

Consenting – providing sufficient understandable information to decide to consent to take part.

Retaining – keeping patients engaged with and enthusiastic about remaining in the trial.
