We're absolutely thrilled to have won a Market Research Society (MRS) Operations award for 'Best Data Collection (Online)' at a ceremony in London on 26 September.

What did the judges say?

"Hall & Partners demonstrated real innovation in fulfilling a brief to research the impact of a common health issue on the lives of patients and their families. A lack of available panel profiling necessitated an innovative approach to sampling. Hall & Partners supplemented traditional panels with a mixed recruitment approach across multimedia channels, flyers and doctor and patient association referrals to target patients while safeguarding anonymity and validity of response.

Throughout the project, Hall & Partners worked hard to ensure they included the more difficult to access audiences they needed to achieve a robust and inclusive sample capable of withstanding critical review from leading medical journals and scientific congress.

Hall & Partners successfully delivered their interview target within an extremely aggressive timeline. The client was clearly impressed with the team’s sensitivity, flexibility and creativity throughout the project, and several abstracts from the resulting data have been accepted for presentation at national and international conferences."

Hall & Partners successfully delivered their interview target within an extremely aggressive timeline.

We are extremely proud of our hard-working Healthcare team and all the innovative projects they're delivering for clients across the globe.
