Experience
With
more than 25 years’ medical market research experience, we
have a
deep understanding of the special needs of the medical community and
recognise the difficulties involved in getting hold of the right
doctor or specialist. However, our persistence to obtain the right
answers to your important questions, combined with a thorough
technical understanding of the subject and a quick turnaround of
results, means that we are ideally placed to help, whatever your
study. We also have great experience in speaking to patients
themselves, something that requires the highest levels of tact on the
part of the interview team.
Our
specially trained medical team carry out diary studies, face-to-face
interviews and telephone interviews in this highly sensitive and
complex area on a day-to-day basis. All our medical interviewers have
undergone comprehensive training programmes and are continually
assessed and monitored to ensure the quality of our research is never
compromised.
The
AFS Medical Panel
Traditionally
medical research has utilised methodologies such as face-to-face
interviewing, focus groups, and telephone interviewing. However, we
realise that in today's modern life, medical professionals are
becoming busier and busier, which is why we decided to start up our
medical e-panels.
Although
our panels are made up of professionally-recruited and verified
decision makers, they are not just made up of general doctors; rather
they have been categorised by specialty.
Through
our growing online panels, we are building our access to doctors in
the following specialties:

- Obstetrics
and Gynaecology
- General
