A good Clinical Research Organisation must be able to rise to the challenge of meeting tight deadlines and the need for a large volunteer group.

The leading CRO in the UK is Richmond Pharmacology whose patient recruitment team has grown to include tele-recruiters, enthusiastic recruitment doctors, a recruitment management team, marketing professionals and patient recruitment project managers which ensure that the required volunteer panels are secured for the sponsor.

With more than 8,000 registered volunteers on their database, it was easy for Richmond Pharmacology to draft 32 subjects from the age of 18-30 and 35 from the age group of 61 and over. The challenge, however, was to ensure that all volunteers were vaccinated in one day and that age and sex categories were split unbiasedly.

Volunteers became a part of the team at Richmond Pharmacology to aid in the community and global based protection from the influenza virus and its newly developed strains.
