From acquiring patient feedback on your protocol, to feasibility and site selection, to monitoring performance, we can support you throughout your research journey. Our flexible package of support is available to all life science companies and Contract Research Organisations, regardless of location, study type, study size, or therapy area. The earlier you get in touch the more you will benefit from our support.
There are three key areas where our Study Support Service can really have an impact on the success of your study: Plan, Place, Perform.
We provide a range of support to help you plan your clinical study or trial. All you need to get started is a study outline or draft protocol.
We will help you to place your study more strategically to optimise study performance.
Once your study is approved, we’ll work with you to get your sites up and running and to stay on track.
“Our first port of call when bringing the trial to the UK, after the protocol was approved by MHRA, was to work with NIHR to ensure rapid recruitment and enrollment…”
Wendy Talbott, Senior Director of Clinical Operations at Novavax
We work collaboratively with our colleagues in Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland to enable a smooth and quick research delivery experience across the UK.
Our Study Support Service Route Map and user guide has been co-created with our life science partners as a helpful guide to accessing and understanding our services.
The earlier you get in touch the more you will benefit from our support.
If your study is already part of the NIHR Clinical Research Network Portfolio and you need support or help with investigators, site set-up, or recruitment issues, contact your local Industry Operations Manager for support.
