What We Do

More than clinical trials —
everything primary care

PCRA is where companies come when they need general practice. Whether you're running a clinical trial, building a regulatory file, gathering real-world evidence, or simply need a letter of support from a credible clinician — we've built the infrastructure to deliver it, properly, at scale.

Clinical Trials & Pharmaceutical Research

Our network of nearly 180 GP practices are ready for full trial delivery. From feasibility (and yes this means realistic feasibility!) to supported site selection — we know our practices, their strengths and their capacity. We will find you the right site for your trial at the speed you need.

Real World Evidence & Service Evaluations

Faster, more focused evidence generation from real NHS primary care. In-service evaluations, product assessments, and structured data collection — conducted by practicing clinicians in the setting of use. Essential for drug tariff submissions, Part IX applications, and MHRA technical files.

Regulatory & Clinical Affairs Support

Need clinical evidence for your technical file? A letter of support from a practicing GP or specialist? A handful of robust case studies to back up your submission? We connect you with the right clinicians, quickly and professionally, with full documentation.

At-Home & Hybrid Study Delivery

Our mobile nursing teams conduct blood draws and assessments in patients’ homes nationwide. We operate mobile vans for community vaccination programmes, and link directly with clinical research facilities for hybrid hospital-to-home study models.
