They have over 35 years’ experience of continuous service in Phase I-IIa clinical research and bioanalytical research.  Understanding the need to reduce costs and the time it takes to get drugs to market, they have optimised their services for faster recruitment and efficient study completion.  All services are on one site including a 58 bed clinic with 6 wards, 5 consultation rooms, volunteer recruitment, bioanalytical laboratory, central laboratory, project management, data management, statistics, quality assurance and an MIA(IMP) compliant pharmacy.
