Their aim is to improve recruitment to NIHR Portfolio research studies by building a database of volunteers who consent to be approached in the future about studies they are eligible to participate in.

The campaign is currently being promoted across Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas, to encourage as many people as possible to get involved. Volunteers receive information about research opportunities, relevant local health events and a newsletter twice a year.

The Recruit solution from EMIS bridges the gap between patients, healthcare teams, and researchers by enabling primary care teams to easily support clinical trial recruitment directly within their clinical system. Recruit delivers complex prebuilt searches against primary care Electronic Health Record (EHR) data to identify patients who may meet eligibility criteria for clinical trials. With just a few clicks, primary care teams can review the generated list and invite patients to register their interest via text or email. Patients can then choose to participate, with no data shared with the research organisation until consent is given.

“The streamlined process of Recruit was a fantastic starting point for our journey into clinical trials. Having research data and searches readily available within our clinical systems made a significant difference. The simplicity of identifying and inviting eligible patients with just a click of a button was a valuable feature. Plus, receiving prompt payment was an added bonus!”
