Launch of EPG Survey: Doctors invited to participate in paid online survey activity.

May 13th 2008

IMR International Limited today announced the launch of EPG Survey (www.epgsurvey.com), a new web-based medical market research service.

Qualified and practicing Healthcare professionals in Europe are invited to join the EPG Survey panel. Membership is free and panel members are paid for participating in all online survey activities.

Applicable to both general medicine and all medical specialties, EPG Survey activities will be conducted on behalf of the health and market research industries.

“Opinion from health care professionals regarding everything from the spelling of a brand name to the development of new therapies provides highly coveted market intelligence in today’s challenging business environment. In the health sector there are intrinsic credibility and communication issues. EPG Survey, working as an intermediary between the health industry and the HCP aims to bridge the credibility gap and deliver market intelligence quickly, reliably and cost effectively. Our panel members know that they can take part in market research activity without their name instantly appearing on the blackberry of the nearest rep.” - Chris Cooper, MD, IMR International Limited.

EPG Survey panel members will be selectively chosen to regularly participate in relevant clinical and scientific survey activities. Surveys will be presented in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian languages according to the participating physician’s country of residence. Each opportunity to participate in a survey will enable the doctor to make their own contribution to wider health care provision - in addition to be compensated for taking the time to share their expert clinical opinions.

“Our initial focus is Europe - but we have ambitious plans to provide global reach and are already seeing a regular flow of EPG Survey Panel sign ups from HCP’s in Asia, Australia, North and South America” – Michelle Kelly EPG Survey Division Head.

Practicing health care professionals, who wish to become EPG Survey panel members, can visit the EPG Survey website to learn more.

EPG Survey forms part of the health publishing and e-communications portfolio owned and operated by IMR International www.epghealthmedia.com. Other divisions within the business include EPG Online www.epgonline.org - a drug and medical information knowledge base for doctors used by more than 300,000 health care professionals internationally, EPG Patient Direct, a free online information service for patients and a dedicated health digital Communications consultancy.
