In clinical research, participant-facing materials shape more than understanding. They can influence recruitment, retention, and the overall participant experience. In our latest blog, we explore why clarity matters, how the “Let’s Add” trap can weaken communication, and when print or digital formats are the better fit.

On Earth Day, Imperial recognizes the role we all play in supporting a healthier planet. Our teams put responsible operations into practice through the way we plan, use materials, and manage resources. Progress comes from these processes as well as the everyday decisions that add up over time.

Our most recent EcoVadis sustainability assessment placed Imperial among the top 35 percent of companies evaluated worldwide, reflecting strong environmental governance and ongoing efforts to reduce energy use and waste.

We continue to build on these efforts across every part of Imperial, embedding sustainability into the decisions that guide our work and our growth.

Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) are supposed to strengthen quality in clinical trials, but too often they become paperwork instead of prevention. Across the industry, teams move fast to correct the visible issue, close the file, and move on. What’s missing is the system-level work that actually reduces recurrence.

In our latest blog post, we look at why CAPAs fail and what separates effective practice from administrative activity. These best practices stand out:
• Root cause analysis that goes beyond the first obvious answer
• Proportionate actions that match the level of risk
• Verification steps that confirm the system truly changed
• A culture that treats deviations as data, not blame

If you’re shaping CAPA processes or strengthening risk management in your organization, this piece offers a clear, practical framework. Read our post here:

Learn how effective CAPA strengthens risk management in clinical trials by identifying root causes & promoting a culture that minimizes risks.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Liz Wegner, Project Manager III and supervisor, shares how curiosity and clear communication guide her work with clients and teams.

The qualities I rely on most as a leader are curiosity and communication. Over time, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful leadership moments come from being willing to ask “why” and recognizing that I don’t always have the full picture.

In the fast‑moving, complex world of clinical trials, staying curious helps me understand the
intent behind requests or challenges. That discipline has helped me make better decisions, avoid unnecessary risk and surprises, and stay focused on the bigger picture.

Communication is what brings that understanding to life. I work hard to be transparent and approachable, whether I’m partnering with clients or supporting my team. When people share a clear sense of the bigger picture, the work has a stronger foundation to improve.

To me, leadership is about creating an environment where questions are encouraged, different perspectives are respected, and people feel comfortable speaking up. When teams understand the “why” behind their work and feel genuinely heard, they’re empowered to deliver thoughtful, reliable service that builds trust and truly makes a difference.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Siân Lukaszewicz, creative and language services manager, shares the principle that guides how she supports her teams.

For me, leadership is rooted in being ready to take on the same tasks as my team. When I join in on the tasks my team is responsible for, I gain a real understanding of their challenges and the effort behind the work they do. It also helps me offer feedback that’s grounded in appreciation and firsthand knowledge.

The best way to build a strong, supportive team is to be in the thick of the work alongside your team members. Stepping into roles when needed strengthens trust and reinforces shared purpose. Leading alongside the team creates an environment where people feel supported, capable, and proud of what they accomplish together.
