| Question 1 | How can randomised trials become part of routine care and best utilise current clinical care pathways? |
| Question 2 | What information should trialists communicate to members of the public who are being invited to take part in a randomised trial in order to improve recruitment to the trial? |
| Question 3 | Does patient/public involvement in planning a randomised trial improve recruitment? |
| Question 4 | What are the best approaches for designing and delivering information to members of the public who are invited to take part in a randomised trial? |
| Question 5 | What are the barriers and enablers for clinicians/healthcare professionals in helping conduct randomised trials? |
| Question 6 | What are the key motivators influencing members of the public’s decisions to take part in a randomised trial? |
| Question 7 | What are the best approaches to ensure inclusion and participation of under-represented or vulnerable groups in randomised trials? |
| Question 8 | What are the best ways to predict recruitment rates to a randomised trial and what impact do such predictions have on recruitment? |
| Question 9 | What are the best approaches to optimise the informed consent process to improve recruitment of members of the public to randomised trials? |
| Question 10 | What are the advantages and disadvantages to using technology during the recruitment process? |
| Question 11 | How best can clinicians and other health professionals be educated to optimise recruitment to randomised trials? |
| Question 12 | Does feasibility testing of recruitment procedures lead to improvements in recruitment? |
| Question 13 | How can eligibility criteria for trial participants be optimised so that they aid recruitment to randomised trials? |
| Question 14 | What is the value of making trials participants feel appreciated in being recruited to a trial and how can this be best achieved? |
| Question 15 | What are the best approaches to ensuring manageable workloads for clinical and research staff responsible for recruiting members of the public to randomised trials? |
| Question 16 | Does involvement of (i) members of the public and/or (ii) members of the public participating in a randomised trial, in designing trial information improve recruitment? |
| Question 17 | What are the incentives that motivate members of the public to agree to participate in randomised trials? |
| Question 18 | Do trial recruiters who have received focused, specialised recruitment training achieve better levels of recruitment than non-trained recruiters? |
| Question 19 | Do randomised trials which have a low participant burden/requirements achieve better recruitment than those that have a greater patient burden? |
| Question 20 | Does a central registry for members of the public (i.e. a list of people with contact details) who are interested in taking part in a randomised trial improve recruitment? |
