Flexible, agile, collaborative

Looking for better medical market research and academic services?

We are experienced academics with a strong track record of delivering high-quality research for healthcare and pharmaceutical audiences. Our work is grounded in a thorough understanding of ethical research practice, robust methodology, and transparent reporting.

We apply these principles consistently to ensure reliable, credible outputs that support confident decision-making across the research, development, and delivery lifecycle.

We deliver bespoke, clinician-led medical market research, designed from first principles and tailored to specific clinical and strategic questions. Each project is developed in close collaboration with industry partners, ensuring that research objectives are both clinically meaningful and commercially relevant.

A defining strength of Lionra Medical is our deep integration within UK clinical networks. These long-standing relationships allow us to precisely target the most relevant respondents - including clinical leaders, specialist clinicians, and key stakeholders - rather than relying on broad, unfocused dissemination.

Rigour, reliability, and ethics

Our services

Surveys

All too often, medical market research surveys are poorly designed to answer key questions. We use academic rigor and clinical insight to design powerful surveys that generate important insights.

We work with established medical networks, subject experts, and patient advocates, to ensure our research reaches important voices - and not just the loudest! This is a unique approach that adds value to our work and the medical community.

Interviews & advisory boards

Whilst surveys can provide relatively superficial, hypothesis-generating information, the core of qualitative research is the semi-structured interview.

Carefully designed interviews allow us to identify and explore key themes in depth, uncovering the motivations, experiences, and decision-making processes behind quantitative findings. Using academic rigour and clinical insight, we design and conduct interviews that generate rich, meaningful data.

Real World Evidence

Years of experience in clinical research enable us to ask the most pertinent questions and interrogate relevant real-world datasets. We work with clients to design robust studies, identify appropriate data sources, and acquire high-quality data.

Our approach focuses on careful analysis to produce meaningful, reliable outputs that support confident, evidence-based decision-making for pharmaceutical development, market access, and lifecycle strategy.

A wide range of academic services

Many research questions don’t fit neatly into a single methodology. We offer a range of bespoke academic services, delivered with the same academic rigour and clinical insight that underpin all our work.

These include:

  • Systematic and targeted literature reviews, including scoping and rapid reviews

  • Evidence synthesis, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches

  • Data analysis, from exploratory analyses to publication-ready outputs

  • Delphi and modified Delphi consensus studies, including protocol design, panel recruitment, and analysis

  • Methodological advisory support, including study design, endpoint selection, and interpretation of findings

We frequently work across methods, combining approaches to answer complex questions clearly and credibly. If your project doesn’t fit a standard template, we’re happy to design something that does.
