Patient Information Testing

Through our strategic partnership with Luto Research Ltd we can enhance the patient information sheets (PIS) and consent forms through the application of user testing techniques. This enables participants to better understand the key messages of your trial and is well received by Research Ethics Committees. This service is automatically provided to our large multi-centre trials.

Recent research undertaken by Luto for the University of Leeds showed that participants were unable to find or understand key information in clinical trial patient information sheets.

Working with a representative participant cohort, Luto can identify problems with information sheets and consent forms, then using the best practice in information design, refine and test the revised copy.

This allows our clients to apply for research ethics approval demonstrating that the PIS has been tested and that potential trial participants can understand the key points. It also reduces liability as far as trial insurers are concerned, often reducing insurance premiums.
