For research and life sciences professionals

Supporting smarter site selection for your clinical trial

Get in touch View all products

Clinical trials are expensive, and choosing ineffective study sites can lead to wasted time and resources. Our feasibility service helps you to select the best locations by reviewing the eligible, contactable patient population on behalf of participating practices – before your study even begins. 

Optimise your trial from the start

We start the process by looking at your study protocol and the proposed trial sites. From here, we’ll convert the eligibility criteria from your protocol into a structured search, and run this against the full primary care record of patients in the relevant areas whose GP is signed up to use Recruit.

The output is a comprehensive insights report that includes detailed population demographics analysis for all locations. With these demographic breakdowns, you can gain a deeper  understanding of your eligible patient population, including their diverse backgrounds and specific needs. This information can set your recruitment and retention strategies up for success, helping you to engage and retain participants and ensure your trial results are representative.

By using real-world patient data, our feasibility service helps you make smarter site decisions, saving time and reducing costs. Once your study is live on Recruit, every patient identified can be invited by GPs, turning insights into real trial participants.

Key benefits

  • Select the best sites for your clinical trial based on real-world patient data
  • Access detailed demographic breakdowns to support participant diversity
  • Understand your eligible patient population to engage and retain participants more effectively
