Our participant recruitment process
From initial interest to clinical screening
Six stages, one participant journey
At Paratus Clinical, our dedicated recruitment team supports participants through a structured pre-screening process, helping identify individuals who may be suitable for clinical trials.
Through targeted recruitment strategies, personalised communication and collaboration with our clinical teams, we aim to create a seamless experience for participants while supporting efficient recruitment for sponsors and CROs.
- 01
Generating participant interest
Potential participants are reached through a range of channels, including digital advertising, social media, email, SMS campaigns and our existing participant database. Interested individuals can register their interest in a study.
- 02
Initial participant engagement
Our recruitment specialists contact interested individuals to introduce the study, answer initial questions and discuss their potential suitability. This conversation provides an opportunity to understand their interest and gather relevant information.
- 03
Eligibility pre-screening
Our recruitment team conducts an initial assessment against study-specific eligibility criteria. This may include reviewing age, height, weight, medical history, current medications and other relevant health information to identify individuals who may be suitable to progress.
- 04
Investigator review
Where additional clinical assessment is required, our recruitment specialists collaborate with the study investigator to review relevant medical information and determine whether further screening may be appropriate.
- 05
Screening appointment coordination
Individuals who appear potentially eligible and wish to proceed are invited to attend a screening appointment at one of our clinical research sites. Our recruitment team coordinates appointment scheduling and provides the necessary information to help participants prepare for their visit.
- 06
Clinical screening and eligibility confirmation
During the screening visit, the clinical team conducts the assessments required by the study protocol to determine whether the individual meets the eligibility criteria.
While initial pre-screening helps identify potentially suitable participants, final eligibility is determined by the clinical team following the required screening assessments.
A dedicated team behind every participant journey
Our recruitment approach goes beyond generating interest. By combining personalised participant engagement, structured eligibility assessments and close collaboration with investigators, we support the progression of potentially suitable individuals from initial enquiry to clinical screening.
