Key takeaways
- Document consent, purpose, and data handling for every HCP.
- Apply fair market value to honoraria and keep records.
- Know adverse event reporting duties before fieldwork.
Healthcare professionals are among the most regulated research audiences. Recruiting them without a compliance plan puts both the study and your organisation at risk.
What to settle before fieldwork
- 1
Consent and purpose
Tell participants who the research is for, how data will be used, and that participation is voluntary.
- 2
Fair market value
Set honoraria based on time and seniority, and keep the calculation on file.
- 3
Sponsor transparency
Disclose or blind the sponsor according to the study design and local rules.
- 4
Adverse event handling
Brief moderators and recruiters on what to report and how, if a participant mentions a safety event.
Data protection
Collect only what the study needs, store it securely, and agree retention and deletion periods up front. Our compliance process covers each of these steps.
