After our away day on the 6th June - please find some examples of how to increase the knowledge of the trial in your department and try to increase recruitment. Thanks to Jodi Carpenter from NW Anglia for these fab suggestions. 

  1. Have a good working relationship with your PI
  2. Send monthly recruitment reports to those on the delegation log
  3. Have presence in the clinical areas during the week
  4. Have a direct line to contact the research midwives 
  5. Have as many doctors on the delegation log as possible
  6. Have posters of thank you's to staff who help with recruitment
  7. Have sessions in mandatory training and give education to staff prior to opening
  8. Twitter updates
  9. Consider a maternity research week #researchpledge
  10. Have presence on the intranet and in the trust newsletter

We hope some of these things can increase recruitment in your department. If anyone else has any good suggestions please comment below.

Thanks 

Lauren (research fellow)
