Clinical trials & research studies
Dietitian and nutritionist support for your study participants
Mission Nutrition’s team of Registered Dietitians and Registered Nutritionists work alongside research teams to provide practical nutrition support guided by your study protocol. We offer online consultations for participants across New Zealand.
Experience in GLP-1 clinical trials
We currently support participants in clinical trials involving GLP-1 weight-loss medications and welcome enquiries about other research studies that require nutrition and lifestyle expertise.
Our established referral and booking processes help your study get off to a smooth start. Our Clinic Manager is your main point of contact throughout.
Nutrition support for your study participants
Whether nutrition is central to your research or part of wider participant care, we’ll agree with your team on the support that fits your study protocol.
One-to-one consultations at agreed points in the study, from initial consultations to follow ups.
Study-specific dietary guidance to help participants put nutrition recommendations into practice.
Practical nutrition support for everyday challenges such as food choices, meal planning, changes in appetite and symptom management.
How we work with you
Tell us about your study
Let us know about your research, participant group, timelines and the nutrition support required.
Plan the support
We’ll identify suitable team members based on the expertise and professional registration your study requires. Before consultations begin, we agree on an appointment schedule, study-specific training, what needs to be documented and how we’ll communicate with your research team.
Support for your participants
Initial consultations are by video. We encourage video for follow ups where practical, as we find it helps build rapport and supports a more engaged conversation. Phone follow ups are also available.
Our practitioners work alongside your wider study team and can liaise with your medical team if concerns about a participant arise.
Let’s discuss your study
If you need support for an upcoming trial or research study, we’d love to hear from you. Contact Hayley, our Clinic Manager, with a brief overview of your study, anticipated participant numbers, timing and the support you’re looking for.
