Passionate about putting the patient at the heart of everything we do, LaQuinta shares what she has learnt through the challenges of the pandemic, what she thinks sets us apart from our competitors, and what exciting developments we can expect to see for the company in 2021.

In this in-depth guide, we look at all aspects of patient engagement across the entire clinical trial journey, and why it’s important in ensuring diversity amongst participants and looking after patients’ mental wellbeing.

Here, we explore the biggest social barriers to clinical trial accessibility from a patient recruitment perspective, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of technology in making research more accessible.

We explore the issues faced when people of white, European descent are over-represented in clinical trials, the benefits of a diverse patient population on trial outcomes, and how researchers can engage with minority populations to increase diversity among participants to improve overall drug development.
