Nurse-led pre-screening
that converts.

Pre-screening is the moment most recruitment campaigns succeed or fail. Our nurse-led service protects that moment with clinical credibility, compassion, and genuine human connection.

What We Deliver

Our social media response nurses answer calls and queries from potential participants responding to social media campaigns, trial websites and other recruitment channels. Participants are assessed for eligibility and referred directly to trial sites — warm, unhurried, and clinically credible at every step.

This is not a call centre. It is a clinical service. The quality of that distinction is what separates successful recruitment from dropout at first contact.
