How we can help fight COVID-19
Flexibility when it matters most
With the day-to-day changes that COVID-19 is bringing to healthcare and the world it is important to stay flexible and agile. As a mid-sized CRO we are positioned to provide the flexibility needed and the best support to our clients to be successful in this fight.
What we offer: expertise and knowledge
With experience that spans nearly 25 years, the core of our business has always been driven by the passion for bringing life-saving drugs and devices to those who need them. We are dedicated to help fight COVID-19 with knowledge of regulatory affairs and our experienced clinical operations teams. In addition, we can also offer fast additional resources and support via our flexible resourcing department – TalentSource Life Sciences.
We have many challenges to face to offset disruption:
Regulatory knowledge and guidance
With our understanding of regulatory systems throughout Europe and the US, our regulatory team is keeping our clients up-to-date on these rapidly changing regulatory landscapes. We are actively monitoring these changes while providing our clients with practical advice to help continue their projects.
Risk Assessment
Every clinical trial is different and only the project managers know every aspect of their trial. Therefore regulators have asked that detailed risk assessments be performed, making the safety of trial participants their top priority. These risk assessments allow for us to identify the potential disruptions that COVID-19 could cause. With the knowledge of our clinical operations and compliance teams we are able to find these potential disruptions and prepare processes and plan ahead of time to comply with important regulations.
“With the impacts of COVID-19, focused risk assessments and a willingness to rapidly implement innovative mitigation strategies are vital for the safety of patients and success of ongoing clinical trials. It is our duty to patients and our clients to continue our management of research into new treatments and medical devices as far as possible, while staying compliant with regulatory guidelines.”
Kerry Dyson, Chief Operating Officer.
Clinical Operations
Our experienced clinical operations team is prepared to provide the flexibility that each trial needs to be successful and compliant during this unprecedented time. We have taken the appropriate steps to virtualize our clinical trials and to monitor sites remotely.
With the daily changes that are arising due to this disease we understand that protocol amendments may need to be considered and the importance of site engagement. We are in constant contact with our investigators to keep them up-to-date on any changes and keep them motivated while participating in the trial virtually.
We are prepared to provide solutions to any statistical analysis challenges that may arise due to COVID-19, we are committed to collect accurate and reliable data that each project needs.
As the pandemic and disease evolves we are taking the necessary precautions while evaluating our overall clinical portfolio and study designs.
Flexible Resourcing Solutions
We have strong expertise in supporting clients in finding staff for any role within the clinical and medical devices fields. In this situation with all the challenges that a pandemic could create we are being called upon to be even faster in supporting our clients. For example, we had a request for coordinators to work at specific hospitals, in multiple countries and we found people in 2 days, who had immediate capacity; In another example, we needed someone to work on a COVID-19 study and we found the perfect match within 1 week.
Due to our excellent recruitment database, we find people with varying technical skill-sets, specific therapy area experience and specialist language capabilities, in a very quick timeframes. Providing fast, cost effective, temporary support to new and existing clients.
Providing digital solutions
With our technological advancements we are able to provide virtual solutions to meet the needs during this time. This ensures that we are keeping patients safe while continuing to progress with our life-saving research.
