research
At QMasters we have been instrumental in designing custom-made pop-ups for research projects. Working with research doctors, we can tailor alerts to remind busy clinicians that a particular patient presenting with a specific symptom is eligible for trial inclusion. Our protocols can guide them through recruitment and even produce consent forms with merged patient demographics ready for printing.
Our clients include researchers at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford.
If you want to maximise successful recruitment to your trials, we can help by prompting busy clinicians at opportune moments and making trial recruitment quicker and more accurate.

"We approached QMasters as we needed a GP database search that would identify suitable patients for our research study in patients from Primary Care. Their response to our request was very prompt. They were able to design the search file which automated most of the study inclusion/exclusion criteria and served to significantly reduced the manual searching of a patient’s notes at the surgery. This, we believe, is important to engage busy GP practices in research.
Further, they were able to trial out the search file in a GP practice database and provide the necessary feedback to optimise the search file for identification of suitable patient.
We found that they were very approachable and willing to modify and optimise the search promptly. Also their own experience as GPs was invaluable in fine-tuning the search. The cost for this activity we felt was reasonable especially as they provide technical support for operating the search file for the first year. We would recommend their services if you have a similar task and are thinking of doing research that requires patient identification in Primary Care."
