Patients’ experiences and insights are being utilised more and more during the research and development process, but is the process of patient engagement being used to its full potential?
In this eBook, we explore the current use of patient engagement, and explore ways in which we can gain even more powerful insights, from even more people. We also discuss how to keep the patient at the centre of all clinical research activity, and how to ensure the involvement of a diverse range of people.
The possibilities for insights are truly endless.
In this eBook we:
- Discuss the importance of patient engagement, where it stands now, and recommendations for the future
- Re-define the ‘patient’ — including patients at all stages of acceptance, and engaging people around the patient such as spouses or caregivers
- Recommend a new format for clinical research site visits, focusing on the needs of patients
- Explore different outreach methods, and how these can help to recruit a diverse range of people
- Outline what you can be doing to help improve diversity in clinical research
