Engaging Patient Communities: A Pathway to Clinical Trial Success

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Patient Recruitment & Retention, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Tuesday, April 16, 2024

In this webinar, the expert speakers will focus on the critical role of patient communities in advancing clinical trials.

They will explore best practices for engaging with patient communities to enhance recruitment, retention and overall success of the trial. Based on case studies and interactive discussions, attendees will learn how to build trust, foster communication and address the unique needs of patient communities.

In a recent study, 91 percent of sites stated they did not have adequate staff to perform recruitment activities and 78 percent of sites indicated they did not have a clear recruitment plan.
With recruitment, retention and engagement being the linchpin of clinical trials, the speakers will discuss strategies to augment awareness of clinical trials within the broader public sphere, how to connect with patient communities and provide innovative approaches to engage with local communities.

Register for this webinar today to discover strategies for meaningful collaboration, which in turn can drive innovation and improve the clinical trial experience.
