MRN offers patient-centric clinical trial services to address challenges in patient recruitment and retention. Their approach utilizes home trial support and site nurse support to access a larger patient pool by recruiting from wider geographical regions. This can result in up to a 600% increase in patients completed per site compared to traditional methods. As the largest nursing provider in clinical trials, MRN specializes in complex, multi-country studies and those involving home visits or difficult patient populations.

Implementing Home Trial Support allows sites to recruit patients from a wider geographical region
and therefore reach a larger patient pool, as well as increase their consenting and retention rates.
Implementing Site Nurse Support in parallel ensures sites have a dedicated resource to identify and
screen patients from the increased patient pool effectively. The combined impact of these services
can result in up to 600% increase in completed patients per site.
