Choice Health and Clinical Trial Units (CTUs)

People sometimes ask, who we are, and where do we sit with Clinical Trial Units and Imaging? And the best answer is illustrated by the Venn diagram above.

The world of clinical radiology imaging is vast, as is the world of Pharma and Clinical Research. Both independent and very separate. Choice Health sits in that unique and specialist area that intersects. Clinical trials that require Imaging as a key validation tool.

Approximately 30% of all clinical trials require imaging. That jumps dramatically to 80% for Oncology trials. Hence the relevance of Oncology Imaging. This also has significant relevance for Clinical Trial Units (CTUs) and dedicated research facilities that manage local trials/research and source local imaging resources.

 

Net Effect

We see our net effect in two ways. Firstly is increasing revenue (for your Trust/hospital facility) through trials and research. And secondly, more importantly, providing your most unwell patients with access to the latest trial medicines. This is something patients are being denied due to lack of capacity which we think is really sad and hence close to our hearts.

At Choice Health we have a strong UK NHS background (being part of the NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur Programme) and recognise how the incessant clinical demand that is having an adverse effect on trial start-up, trial scans reporting, and even medical physics (MPE/CRE reviews). This is an area that Choice Health specialise in with a proven track record and can really help.

Working with clients across both the clinical imaging and Pharma/CRO worlds gives Choice Health staff such great pleasure. Knowing that you are helping the most unwell of patients give such an overwhelming feeling of helpfulness is something we often hear from our staff.

 

Set Up A Call…

It would be great to set up a video call with you or your team to give examples of where we’ve made a difference already (globally) and discuss how we could help you or your CTU too.

Sometimes an infographic just explains what we do a whole lot simpler!
