About One Research
Independent thinking and patient-centered support for stronger clinical research outcomes.
Innovative thinking for patient-centered research
Based at the Sussex Innovation Centre within the South Downs National Park, One Research was founded in response to the ever-increasing challenge of recruiting and retaining sufficient numbers of volunteers for clinical trials. Approximately 80% of clinical trials fail to recruit the patients they need on time.
Whilst the concept of patient-centricity has gained currency, and much discussion has been had about how to make the clinical development process more patient centred, global practices are yet to solve the problem.
One Research’s strategy achieves change at a fundamental level by reducing workloads for clinicians and presenting them with innovative and operationally proven resources that support clinical delivery at scale. By helping clinical research teams to engage effectively with patients, One Research seeks to benefit the entire healthcare community by encouraging new medicines to market faster.
