We have been running Clinical Trials for the past fifteen years and have an impressive track record. We are experienced in Phase II, III and IV studies, in IRAS applications, electronic data capture and IVRS. Our Clinical Trials Team is headed by Dr Christopher Strang, an experienced Principal Investigator, with all GP Partners at Mortimer acting as Co-investigators. We have two Clinical Trial nurses and a Trial Co-ordinator, all of whom are regularly ICH GCP trained.

We recruit solely from our patient population (approximately 11,800) as we feel it important that we have the full medical history of our patients in order to maintain the highest safety and efficacy both for those enrolled and in terms of study data. Our facilities include two temperature controlled fridges, freezer, secure drug storage, centrifuge, audiogram, interpretative ECG, alpha vitalograph, etc, plus available monitoring rooms and links to private hospitals for x-ray investigations.
