Welcome to the Medical Research Network
The Medical Research Network (MRN) is a unique Clinical Trial Support Organisation offering specialised expertise to leading pharmaceutical companies, health organisations and investigators conducting clinical trials across the United Kingdom.
Our aim is simple – to combine the advantages of treating clinical trial patients in their own homes with the placement of experienced research nurses at study sites using an established centralised pharmacy and logistics operation. This results in faster trial delivery and site resource optimisation in today’s challenging research environment.
With a UK wide network of clinical research and home trial nurses, a national research database of investigators and research sites, a central pharmacy and the ability to deliver and administer trials medicines within research sites and/or the patient’s home, the benefits from working with the MRN are significant. Patient access is significantly enhanced.
For the patient, who would normally have to travel to the research centre, there is increased convenience in participating in clinical trials.
For the trial site, the benefits reported include optimised utilisation of their limited in-house resources thus increasing their ability to run and recruit into studies.
For the sponsor, the benefits are enhanced recruitment speeds and high levels of patient retention, as well as opening up whole new patient populations.
Home Trial Support
The MRN place nurses into the patients home to run appropriate visits of clinical trials. The patients like it, the sites become more efficient and recruitment & retention improves, so everyone wins.
Pharmacy Support
The MRN use central pharmacy operations to enhance or replace pharmacy services in each site, preventing pharmacy capacity and capability issues stopping trials in their tracks.
Site Support
The MRN place study nurses into research sites to run all aspects of clinical trials, providing them with the resources they need to take part, and opening up new patient populations.
Trial Management Support
Full outsourcing of clinical trials for our partners who need our experience and expertise to deliver high quality trials on time and on budget.
