Cultivate Your Own High-Level Community

Recruiting clinical trial participants can be an expensive, difficult and lengthy process. And once your patients are onboarded into the trial, you’re still tasked with retaining them in order to maintain the integrity of the study. Failure to limit participant dropout rates can have far-reaching effects on study timelines and budgets.

Ensuring patient recruitment, engagement and retention goals are met is a common challenge for everyone in the clinical trials industry, and shared challenges call for collaborative solutions. While conferences can provide an environment conducive to starting these discussions, they often fall short in fostering enduring relationships that fuel insightful dialogue. 

That’s where the Xtalks Patient Recruitment and Engagement Peer Circle steps in. In this Peer Circle, members will learn best practices for patient recruitment, engagement and retention from each other. They will gain insights into the most effective ways to engage with diverse patient populations and identify those with a willingness to participate in studies, as well as strategies to be mindful of the patient voice and ultimately minimize withdrawal.

As a member, you will be connected with other leaders in your field, saving you time and money while networking with the most future-focused group you could ever assemble.

Say goodbye to virtual environments cluttered with vendors and event organizers setting the agenda. Our selective Peer Circles are created for you and are curated by you. By joining this exclusive collective, you will have the opportunity to participate in compelling virtual conversations with top leaders in patient recruitment, engagement and retention for clinical trials.
