Our Referral Process

We have made our referral process as simple as possible, so that you can focus on caring for your patients and not get bogged down in paperwork. Our referral forms and eligibility checklists are compatible with Best Practice and Medical Director.

To refer a participant, simply follow the steps below:

Identifying suitable participants

From a list of our studies, you will be able to identify potential participants for healthy or patient focused clinical trials.

Pre-screening and eligibility check

Once you have identified if your patient is eligible and referred them, a member of our participant recruitment team will contact them to run through a pre-screening call. If they are deemed eligible, they will be contacted for an in-person screening appointment.

Ongoing communication

Our research investigators will contact you to notify you if your patient has been successfully randomised in the study. Any adverse events or new medical conditions identified will also be communicated with you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my patient will be safe?

Participant safety and wellbeing is paramount at Canopy Clinical – prior to enrolment in any trial, your patient will be guided through the Informed Consent process, ensuring they have a clear and thorough understanding of potential risks, restrictions and activities involved in the trial to help them make an informed decision. 

Before a trial begins recruitment, it must be approved by an independent Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), which ensures the study is scientifically valid and prioritizes participant well-being. HRECs in Australia abide by the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, which is referenced in Therapeutic Goods Regulations.

Throughout the trial, participants are closely monitored by healthcare professionals, and safety data is regularly reviewed.  

How will my patient's data and medical history be protected?

When sharing clinical trial data with authorised agencies, participant data is ‘de-identified’ and replaced with a participant ID or code – meaning that your patient’s personal details are not disclosed. This ensures that your patient’s information always remains confidential.

Your patient’s personal contact details will only ever be used for the purpose of research at Canopy Clinical and will not be shared with any third parties without their explicit permission, except when required by law.

Will I receive communications/updates regarding my patient's progress?

As the primary doctor, it is critical you are informed of your patient’s progress on the clinical trial. Our clinical researchers will communicate with you at the following stages:

At screening – if our screening process identifies any new medical conditions

At randomisation – when your participant consents and is randomised on to the study

Adverse events – if throughout the study any new allergies or notable side effects arise, you will be notified

At completion of study – at the end of the study you will receive a final communication notifying you your patient is no longer on the study.

What is your clinical leadership structure?

At Canopy Clinical, our clinical leadership framework is built on the expertise and insight of our Chief Medical Officer and our team of experienced clinical investigators. We believe that clinician-led decision making is critical for delivering high quality clinical research.

Who is conducting this research?

Canopy Clinical is a site research network, conducting various clinical trials on behalf of different pharmaceuticals, biotechnology companies and contract research organisations. Our doctor information letters and materials for doctors will clearly state the sponsor of the study, and all relevant parties involved.
