SUSTAINABILITY
Use a wider range of sites for clinical trials Finally , making clinical trials accessible to all sites , of all sizes , is vital . Large academic institutions will always have a place , but smaller sites are going to be crucial .
“ Certain communities are extremely close-knit ,” says LaQuinta Jernigan , mdgroup Executive Vice President for The Americas . “ They tend to stay within the same areas , go to the same physicians , and get their information from the same places – perhaps a church , or community centre . These aren ’ t organisations that the clinical research industry speaks to . We have to build awareness on a community level with community hospitals with community sites to increase participation from both patients and healthy volunteers .”
