Recruitment is key to the success of clinical research studies
and trials. CGM has an outstanding track record in this area, effectively
recruiting participants through hospital networks, community programmes,
and media activity.
Equally important to the quality of data is the successful retention
of participants, particularly in the long-term clinical studies
in which CGM Research excels. CGM pays careful attention to the
needs of the participants throughout the course of the programme
by providing services such as transportation, 24 hour availability
of study staff, arrangement of referrals to other doctors and support
groups, and ensuring a continuity of nurses, doctors and assessors
wherever possible.
In addition, a high level of investigator hands-on involvement, a systemic
commitment to quality care and service, close links to support groups,
and a rigorous adherence to international operating standards and practices,
contributes to CGM Research’s enviable retention capability,
