Medical & Pharmaceutical
Three audiences decide a prescription: the doctor, the chemist and the patient. We research all three.
- Doctors and chemists
- Patient research
- Pharmacy audits
Research for medical and pharmaceutical companies
A pharmaceutical brand is chosen by a chain of people. A physician prescribes it, a chemist stocks and sometimes substitutes it, and a patient decides whether to fill the prescription and keep taking it.
We research that chain end to end, with doctors, pharmacists and patients, through structured interviews, satisfaction studies and audits in pharmacies. This work calls for careful handling, and our field teams are briefed accordingly.
