Clinical Research Units and Sites setup and Optimization

The purpose of such centre is to serve as a central coordination unit for all Clinical Research related activities in the healthcare facility.

A manager and a director normally lead and manage the CRU team, which are composed of Clinical and administrative staff. The role of such staff is to coordinate and liaise with various Clinical departments, pharmacy, laboratory and imaging Units for all activities in relation to setup, conduct and closure of Clinical studies, whether externally or internally sponsored. All Clinical trial activities are conducted according to standard operating procedures (SOPs). It's of paramount importance for CRU to have well trained personnel and up-to-date SOPs.

With respect to institutional Clinical Research readiness, compliance and attractiveness, Pharmedas can work with mega-hospitals and specialist centers to:

  • Establish a new Clinical Research coordination unit that is capable of attracting an externally sponsored multinational study by pharmaceutical companies, academic, government and nongovernmental institutions. We can help your facility with staff recruitment, training, operational flow, and drafting of SOPs.

  • Audit your existing unit and provide objective insights on how the Unit can be improved to meet the highest standards of operational excellence.

  • Undertake all or some of your unit's activities so that you don't have to employ a whole team to run it

  • We can help promote your facility to our network of Clinical Research sponsors in the pharmaceutical industry

  • We can help create a network of centres (consortium) so as to increase your overall capabilities of undertaking and attracting studies from major sponsors

  • We can help create a research partnership between your facility and international centres across the globe

  • We can support you to set up a Phase 1 unit in your facility if so desired

  • We can support your capabilities to undertake numerous IITs.
