Under-recruitment of patients into clinical trials creates a “significant barrier to translating basic science discoveries into medical practice”*. New research, released today, highlights that 73% of healthcare professionals found identifying suitable patients for a research study was a key barrier to being able to help.

We’re proud to have sponsored the latest report from Newmarket Strategy, which explores the power of primary care data to transform clinical research delivery.

This report offers insights from industry leaders across healthcare and life sciences and unveils fresh research data from surveyed patients and healthcare professionals. Take a closer look at the unique value that primary care data could bring to clinical research and trial recruitment, the barriers that currently stand in our way, and six pragmatic recommendations to drive forward real change.

Together, we can reshape the landscape, ensuring that primary care has a prominent voice at the table and is embedded in the future of groundbreaking research. In doing so, we can enhance patient care and make cutting-edge treatments available to communities nationwide.

Read the full report today.
