Patient Focus Groups | PPIE Consultation | Clinical Trials

Amplify patient voices through collaborative PPIE consultation and structured public involvement

book a discussion call

  Transform your clinical trials with authentic patient perspectives that enhance study design, improve recruitment, and strengthen regulatory compliance through expert patient engagement groups. 

The Challenge With Clinical Trial Development

Are you developing clinical trials without incorporating true patient perspectives from the start?


Many research teams design protocols based on clinical expertise alone, missing critical insights about what matters most to the people who will actually participate in the study.


Regulatory bodies and funding agencies increasingly require evidence of meaningful patient involvement and public engagement throughout the research process, not just during recruitment.


Our PPIE specialists facilitate structured patient focus groups that capture invaluable insights from those with lived experience of your target conditions through proven public involvement methodologies.


We offer a completely free introductory discussion call to address your individual patient consultation needs.

What Are PPIE Focus Groups?

Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) focus groups bring together patients with lived experience to provide feedback on clinical trial design, materials, and processes. 


Our patient engagement groups use structured public involvement methods to generate actionable insights that improve trial outcomes.

Critical Factors for Your Clinical Trial Design

  • Are there aspects of your study design that might create unforeseen barriers to participation?


  • Could your recruitment methods be overlooking important patient subgroups through inadequate public involvement?


  • Are your outcome measures truly meaningful to the patients your treatment aims to help?


  • How might the burden of trial participation appear from a patient's perspective in your patient engagement strategy?


  • Could practical issues (travel, time commitments, follow-up processes) be limiting your recruitment success?


  • Are your patient materials explaining the trial in ways that resonate with your target population?


  • How valuable would direct feedback from PPIE focus groups be before finalising your protocol?
