Our Services

What We Offer

Clinical Trials & Interventional Studies We support the full delivery of commercial Phase II–IV clinical trials. Our experienced Principal Investigators, GCP-trained research staff and dedicated Research Manager activate quickly and deliver to sponsor timelines across a range of therapeutic areas. Feasibility response within 48 hours; completed feasibility within 7 days; first patient visit within 24 hours of greenlight where protocol permits.

Technology & Systems Our team works with the key platforms used by CROs and sponsors, so we can integrate with your existing trial infrastructure from day one, reducing additional training lead time required. We have direct experience with Florence eConsent, Crio, Veeva Vault and EDGE, and can support fully paperless trial delivery where sponsor systems allow.

Vaccine Research Our network has extensive experience in national vaccine research programmes, including participation in high-profile NIHR portfolio studies. We have contributed to recruitment across multiple large-scale vaccine trials and understand the operational demands of high-volume vaccine delivery in primary care. Our practices consistently achieve among the highest vaccination uptake rates in the region, which translates directly into strong recruitment potential in vaccine studies.

CNS & Neurology We have experience delivering complex CNS studies including Alzheimer's disease research with major global pharmaceutical sponsors. Our team are Cogstate-trained, enabling rapid activation for CNS and neurology studies requiring this platform without additional training lead time.

Real World Evidence & Observational Studies We support real world evidence studies, service evaluations and observational research through our network of NHS GP practices with diverse and representative patient populations across urban and rural Devon.

Hub and Spoke Delivery We offer flexible hub and spoke delivery across the peninsula, scalable to sponsor requirements. Working from our central hub, we can extend recruitment reach to spoke practices and Patient Identification Centres covering 250,000+ patients. We welcome the opportunity to develop bespoke hub and spoke arrangements with sponsors to offer broader recruitment, greater geographic diversity, single governance structure.

Patient Identification For sponsors needing extended primary care reach without full site activation at every practice, our PIC network allows systematic patient identification and referral across our large combined population.
