about nclusiv

Nclusiv emerged from a recognition of the critical gap between clinical research practices and the diverse needs of patient communities. 

Our founders saw firsthand how trials designed without genuine patient input often struggled with recruitment, retention, and ultimately, relevance.

Drawing on decades of combined experience across healthcare, research, and inclusion sectors, we built Nclusiv to bridge this gap. Since our establishment, we've worked tirelessly to develop methodologies that bring authentic patient voices into every stage of the clinical research process.

1. Patients as Partners – We treat patients as essential collaborators in the research process, not just as subjects or participants

2. Proactive Inclusion – We address potential barriers before they impact research outcomes

3. Practical Solutions – We deliver actionable recommendations, not just theoretical frameworks

4. Evidence-Based Methods – Our approaches are grounded in best practices and continually refined

5. Ethical Leadership – We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and respect in all our work

While we maintain strict confidentiality about our client relationships, our work has made meaningful differences across the UK clinical research landscape:

• Helped trials achieve recruitment targets ahead of schedule through improved patient materials

• Facilitated ethics committee approvals without delays through pre-submission patient reviews

• Enabled research teams to access previously underrepresented patient populations

• Supported successful grant applications through robust inclusion strategies

• Transformed organizational approaches to patient engagement across research portfolios

As clinical research continues to evolve, so too does our commitment to championing inclusion and equity. 

We continuously invest in developing new methodologies, expanding our patient networks, and deepening our expertise to meet the changing needs of the research community.

Our vision is of a future where inclusive research practices are the norm, not the exception – where every clinical trial naturally incorporates diverse perspectives and every patient feels they truly belong in research.
