Hind Rajab's mama.
Hind Rajab has become the icon of the murdered childhood of Gaza. Her mother, Wessam, carries her story with dignity and tenderness.
The #HindRajabFoundation bears her name as a living commitment to that legacy.
Hind’s voice lives on, soft, powerful and impossible to ignore.
Loss of statistical power. Trial extensions. Reduced inclusion.
These are common downstream effects of low engagement in recruitment.
This tool lets you model those impacts.

If you’re following up on ideas from #PatientsEU2025, here’s a practical next step:
Use this tool to estimate how communication decisions affect cost per participant and trial length.

Delays, under-recruitment, and missed targets often have shared roots:
— Poor initial contact
— Inaccessible materials
— Underinvested communication
This tool helps quantify those effects.

Retention costs are visible. Recruitment costs often aren't.
This tool connects underinvestment in early media with measurable downstream costs.

Everyone at #PatientsEU2025 is talking inclusion.
But are your recruitment materials accessible, representative, and motivating?
You can estimate the impact of getting it right — or not.

Low recruitment rates affect more than your timelines:
— Statistical power
— Data quality
— Future funding
This calculator helps model the cumulative impact.

Poor engagement materials can lead to:
— Lost applicants
— Increased staff time
— Lower recruitment rates
— Delayed milestones
You can estimate how these affect costs and timelines:

Unclear or inaccessible trial materials increase site workload, reduce inclusion, and create delays.
This tool helps estimate those impacts based on real trial cost factors:

Recruitment delays aren’t always about poor planning — sometimes they reflect poor communication.
This calculator shows how overlooked engagement steps create costly bottlenecks.

Many trial budgets underestimate the cost of under-recruitment and late retention efforts.
Use this tool to explore how early investment in media affects outcomes.

I am very happy to share our new #ebook that brings together practical #PPI experiences from the UK, Ireland, Canada, Chile, Uganda and Brazil. Thank you to all the Partners, especially @Pen_CRU @canchildcentre @MRCCTU @JeremyTaylorNB @pscchagas repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/1…
@mrjamesob @LBC #Austerity directly increases the number of children taken into care (see research below). The flooded services dilute the care available.
Children taken away from parents who cannot support them. In the UK. Happening now. This research by @davara_bennett from @LivUniPH hurts. @UKLabour has to act. @CPAGUK @ChildhoodTrust @prospect_clark
