Recruit

Recruit in action: Protas accelerate hypertension trial Working closely with trial coordinating office Protas, we supported the delivery of a hypertension study using our Recruit solution. Our digital-first model enabled rapid feasibility assessment, site activation, targeted patient outreach and secure record sharing. By surfacing the study directly within our primary care clinical system, GP practices were able to identify eligible patients, send digital invitations, and share healthcare records securely. This enabled practices across our network to invite more than 12,000 patients to take part — all within an 18‑week study period.

Results at a glance

Rapid patient follow‑up 1 in 3 patients (32%) were contacted within 48 hours of consent to contact.

Strong primary‑care participation 43% of eligible practices using Recruit invited patients to participate in the study.

High-quality candidate pool 35,000 eligible patients were identified from practices surrounding the study sites.

Meaningful patient engagement Over 680 pre-qualified patients registered their interest in the trial from their GP invitation, with referral rate matched to site capacity. Rapid, secure data sharing 87% of patients consented to share their healthcare record from the initial invite, and GPs shared 87% of these within an average of 29 hours — enabling sites to assess eligibility quickly before booking appointments.
