Patient-First Recruitment Strategies That Work

Recruitment timelines don’t slip because of bad science — they slip because the people at the center of the trial weren’t considered early enough. When patients, caregivers, and advocacy communities aren’t part of the conversation from the start, enrollment stalls, retention suffers, and outcomes fall short of what they could have been.

In this session, Inspire’s Director of Patient Recruitment, Courtney Brant-Sharpler, shares proven, patient-first strategies for engaging the right communities early — and what that engagement actually looks like when it’s done well.

Attendees gain clarity on:

• How to engage patients, caregivers, and advocacy communities at the stages where it makes the most difference
• What patient-first recruitment actually looks like — and how it improves enrollment and retention outcomes
• How to build smarter, more effective outreach strategies grounded in real patient behavior and community trust
• Actionable approaches that clinical and recruitment teams can apply to their next trial

Who should watch: Professionals in clinical recruitment, patient engagement, clinical operations, and medical affairs looking to improve enrollment performance through more human, community-driven approaches.
