Step One
Practice - Choose a Study
uMed supports multiple studies sponsored by commercial and academic institutions.
Your practice can choose a study via our website or dedicated web application.
Step Two
Practice - Review & Approve Eligible Patients
uMed runs a study specific search to identify potential participants.
Previous
uMed searches are compatible with EMIS or SystmOne. The results of this search are available to your practice in our web application for sign-off.
Step Three
uMed - Patient Contact
Once approved, we manage patient contact on your behalf via SMS, email and/or letter.
Previous
We provide a dedicated study support line for all patient enquiries to minimise incoming calls to your practice.
For most studies, between 10-30% of patients engage with our outreach.
Step Four
Patient - Consents to Join Study
Congratulations! You've empowered your patients to participate in vital clinical research that is most relevant for them.
Previous
Once the study concludes, we will share results and patient feedback with you so that you can see the impact of your participation. Any revenue generated from commercial studies is shared with your practice.

More about PREDICT-PD
PREDICT-PD is a ground-breaking project using simple tests to identify people at high risk of Parkinson’s disease before the symptoms appear.
Research suggests that problems including loss of sense of smell, sleep problems, constipation, anxiety and depression may occur many years before the movement problems of Parkinson’s appear.
Being able to predict who is going to get Parkinson’s before symptoms appear, provides huge potential for the development of treatments in the
early stages that could slow or prevent the condition progressing. This would be a major step forwards towards a cure and could have huge knock-
on implications for dementia and other age-related diseases of the brain.
