Grounding research in community
Groundwork Health Partners with patient advocacy groups, community organisations, and clinical research networks across the globe to bridge the gap between clinical trials and the diverse patients they serve.
Your partner in inclusive, patient-centred clinical research
We exist because healthcare too often fails the communities that need it most. We help lay the groundwork by ensuring that clinical trials are inclusive, reaching underrepresented minorities worldwide to make healthcare accessible to all.
Our boots on the ground approach helps build deep community insight, robust health communications, and genuine partnership to every project - making sure that our solutions are shaped by the people it serves.
Our vision is simple - equitable health outcomes for those whose voices have gone unheard for too long.

A grounded, people-first methodology
We don't parachute in with off-the-shelf solutions. Every project begins with deep listening - to communities, to data, and to the people doing the work every day.
Listen & understand
Deep community listening, stakeholder consultation, and data review to build a clear picture - including what's already working.
Co-design with communities
Solutions developed with communities, not for them. We facilitate co-design so lived experience shapes every intervention.
Implement & support
Alongside your team during delivery - troubleshooting in real time, adapting to what we learn, building local capacity.
Evaluate & embed
Rigorous evaluation closes the loop - making the case for investment and embedding learning for the long term.
