Our approach and experience enables us to identify and engage often difficult to locate specialists and patients to share their insight and opinions.
We always aim to use moderators with extensive experience in the therapy area involved and the list below gives a flavour of some of the orphan diseases we have undertaken qualitative research studies in over the years.

Case Study
In search of Hunter’s Disease specialists
The brief
A boutique consulting firm needed to gather feedback from named specialists in the treatment of Hunter’s disease for a study they were conducting. This was a very high profile study for our client and they were keen to maximise on the number of respondents involved in the study.
Our approach
Drawing on a list provided by the client, we contacted haematologists, paediatric neuro specialists and geneticists across 13 countries. Our experienced recruiters ensured 1 in 4 specialists approached agreed to take part in the research.
Countries Involved
- Argentina
- Brazil
- Canada
- France
- Germany
- Italy
- Mexico
- Poland
- Russia
- Spain
- Turkey
- UK
- USA
Outcome
Our client went on to win a long-term contract in this disease area and we have subsequently been called in to help them recruit Hunter’s Disease patients in South Korea in a follow-up study (there are only 72 patients in all of South Korea and we recruited 10 of these). This has also led to a further three waves of the original research being conducted across the 13 countries.
