Recruitment - Targeting the right people for your trial

With over 10 years of experience and with our meticulous recruitment procedures we can provide genuine, engaged, and punctual participants who are recruited to brief. We know that no clinical trial can afford to have the ‘wrong participants’, so we take the utmost care to ensure the validity of all of our patients through a five-star screening process. Not only do we screen, re-screen, and confirm every bit of criteria, but we also require verification or proof of diagnosis to guarantee that you're connecting with the right patients for your research.

Our ‘Recruitment for Clinical Research’ is separate from our Market Research Respondent Recruitment but a lot of the core values and practices for best standard are interchangeable across both services. Mostly, these ensure that:

All of our recruitment is conducted in-house and never passed to a third party

We provide frequent recruitment updates which include each participant’s full screening criteria

All respondent details are checked, verified and validated

We keep in regular contact with participants, which includes touching base on the day of the trial or research

We are fully GDPR compliant so you can rest assured that all data is passed to you in a lawful, secure, and responsible manner. Our own Data Protection office is always on hand to assist you with any GDPR related questions or enquiries you may have.

We have a multi-tiered approach to recruitment and can recruit via our own extensive and nationally representative database (which includes individuals from all walks of life), as well as utilising our pre-existing relationships with support/advocacy groups, social media groups and Healthcare Professionals.

Participant Engagement & Motivation - Keeping your participants happy

We appreciate that there isn’t a ‘one suit fits all’ for clinical trial recruitment; through our extensive and varied experience with medical focus groups and surveys, we have a deep understanding of maintaining high levels of patient engagement and motivation:

Our patient centred approach means that we take extensive care when ensuring that all of our recruits remain fully informed and aware of what any research study involves. Our team will craft a professional and thorough document for participants that includes a detailed background to the study, educational materials where needed to establish adequate understanding, alongside requirements and clear, concise instructions for respondents.

As part of the recruitment ask for their consent after fielding any patient questions

We maintain consistent verbal and written communication at varying levels of frequency depending on the studies specific requirements; this can range from daily to weekly.

In the unlikely event of any dropouts or loss of engagement, we keep standby respondents on hand to ensure a speedy replacement and thus minimal interruptions to the study.

At the start of any research study, we will give free advice on incentives, so you can make sure you’re gaining the right levels of interest. At MRFGR, we’ve given free advice on incentives for thousands of research projects, so we’re well-equipped to suggest an amount that will garner high levels of uptake, without being unnecessarily high.

Patients with chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, etc)
