Every stage of a clinical trial matters, but recruitment is often the deciding factor in whether a research project has a chance to succeed. For many facilities, it is an operational process. For us – it is a philosophy.

This is no coincidence. It is the result of strategy, relationships, and a team that proves every day that quality and strong partnerships go hand in hand. In numerous research projects, both in Poland and internationally, we have been awarded the title of Top Recruiter a site that achieved the highest number of patient enrolments in a given study, often within a very short timeframe.

But for us, it is not just about numbers. It is confirmation that the process we have built over the years – our team, our relationships, our quality – works. And that the trust we receive from sponsors is well-earned.

What exactly is a Top Recruiter?

It is an informal term, but one that is well understood in the clinical research community. Sponsors and CROs continuously monitor recruitment pace and quality across all active sites. A Top Recruiter is a site that:

  • enrols the highest number of patients,
  • does so faster than anticipated,
  • while maintaining the highest standards — protocol compliance, timely reporting, and data completeness.

It is a measure of operational excellence, but also of the trust placed in a site by both sponsors and patients.

How did we achieve this?

Behind this success are dedicated people – experienced researchers, committed coordinators, trained recruiters, and a quality team that ensures attention to every detail. All work within a shared model where the patient is always at the centre.

This approach delivers results. We have demonstrated it repeatedly, achieving Top Recruiter status in studies across various indications – including psychiatry (both adult and paediatric populations), as well as dermatology and diabetology.

Why does this competency matter so much?

Top Recruiter status is not just a source of internal pride. It is tangible proof that we are a reliable partner – for sponsors who entrust us with new projects, and for patients who trust they are in the right place.

For us, it is also a commitment – to maintain high standards, to continue growing, and to ensure that every patient participating in a study knows their involvement truly matters.

We believe that if something works – it is worth developing further. And if something is achieved – it is worth sharing, because behind every statistics there is a real patient, a real story, and a team fully committed to making a difference.

Thank you all for your invaluable contribution, which as a whole has been recognized by the awarding committee.
