Patient and site recruitment
OPC provides a site and patient identification and recruitment service, to support recruitment of suitable sites and potential eligible patients to participate in a specific study, trial or project. The site or patient eligibility criteria for a study or project is applied to OPCRD to identify suitable sites or patients. The relevant site(s) are then recruited from the OPC Network to participate in the relevant study or project. OPC can also recruits new sites to participate in OPCRD supported studies if required. Our patient and site recruitment support ranges from targeted site and patient identification, engagement and recruitment, to engaging with potentially eligible patients to get expressions of interest.
The study recruitment support includes but is not limited to:
Site Engagement and Recruitment
-
Recruiting and contracting sites from the OPC Network

Recruiting new practices outside the OPC Network if required
-
