Our solutions Patient recruitment

In line with recommendation 22 from the O’Shaughnessy review, this solution also ensures that primary care teams are remunerated for the time they spend supporting clinical research. On a quarterly basis, practices are paid in line with the number of consented patients they have helped to identify using this tool. “Recommendation 22: financial incentives should be introduced for GPs to take part in commercial trials” Via patient applications We also offer a direct patient recruitment channel via Patient Access, the UK’s leading independent patient services app. With inbuilt ‘Research Manager’ functionality, users can browse recruiting clinical trials and consent to share their contact information directly from the app. Over 9 million tethered users are eligible to use this feature, whose personal health record has been linked to their account. Studies are suggested based on this information, enabling a targeted approach to potentially eligible participants.

Via primary care By leveraging technology within the UK’s market-leading primary care clinical system, we can identify high-potential candidates for clinical trial randomisation using trusted electronic health record data. By embedding a free clinical trial recruitment tool within GP systems, we’re making it simple for primary care teams to support clinical research without adding significant administrative burden. With the unique ability to tap into a vast network of GPs across the country, we can enable primary care teams to play a more active role in embedding research delivery into day-to-day care, allowing them to reach out to patients and give them the opportunity to be involved. There’s also functionality to allow engagement activity to be conducted at a higher level – allowing federated organisations such as Integrated Care Systems (ICS) or Research Development Networks (RDN) to lead this work.
