Site Management and Patient Recruitment

With extensive experience as a clinical research organisation, we know that initial pre-study site feasibility is key to establishing clinical sites that will provide the evaluable patient numbers required for your study and that the site staff have the experience and motivation to ensure subjects are recruited, and maintained, throughout the study.

Finding the right clinical research patients

We carefully screen proposed sites to establish that we have found the optimal clinical trials sites to provide the patient group required. We routinely place adverts on the radio or in newspapers and work closely with site staff to find the right patients for your clinical trial and ensure an Investigator is there to recruit them once patients have been identified.

Helping sites to screen suitable patients

The most common problems in clinical trials, after the set-up phase, occur during patient recruitment; and arise from the differing priorities of the investigational sites and clinical trial services providers.

Through honorary contracts and local support PRN can provide resource where it is needed most: at the study site. From study research nurses and site co-ordinators through to data reviewers and clinical trial administrators in registry data collections.

Giving you greater access to trial naive patients

The ability to support sites that are not necessarily geared towards clinical trials gives you greater access to trial naive patients and a wider geographical distribution of the patient population without compromising on quality or timelines.

PRN-Site Established Relationships gives you the benefit of fast set up times and reliable patient recruitment estimates;

The network is an established group of General Practitioners in the UK with whom we work regularly, facilitating fast set-up and delivery of trials in common general practice disease areas. The relationship we have with these clinical research centres allows us to produce fast study feasibility and real patient recruitment time estimates.

As an example of our comprehensive clinical trial services, PRN was able to work successfully on a study in Acute Coronary Syndrome requiring patient screening and treatment in hospital and follow-up in general practice by their own doctor:
