Recruitment in clinical trials is a complex process involving not only patients but physicians, sponsors, trials professionals and research staff. Hindered by tight timelines and often fragmented communications, recruitment rates can be disappointingly low.
Often the information used in clinical trials can be quite lengthy and due to legal requirements, to meet governing body standards, can contain a lot of jargon.

Testing of the use of video took place as part of the STRENGTH trial* at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and Barts Health NHS Trust. It included the use of 2 GP and 3 patient facing videos (see our launch article for more information).
