About LDA Research – Medical Market Research Company
Lucy Doorbar is founder and MD
LDA Research was set up by Lucy in 2011. Based in Bedfordshire, the company comprises a small core team working with a network of trusted associates that operate across the globe. LDA Research clients include health market research agencies, management consultants, medical and pharmaceutical clients, advertising companies, design agencies and medical comms agencies.
“I saw a gap in the medical market research market and I thought that we could fill it. So LDA Research was created to provide a network of consultant level interviewers who would carry out qualitative medical market research internationally.”
Professional Moderators
Our work is distinguished by the fact that we don’t use students, graduates or call-centre interviewers to conduct research. Only professional moderators and interviewers with previous experience working for medical companies or from senior roles in specialist healthcare market research are used. Our team’s in-depth knowledge means that interviews are more thorough, and our capacity to dig deeper helps to draw out insights for clients.
