Case study – Thornbury Nursing Services providing clinicians for PCM TRIALS

Since August 2023, Thornbury Nursing Services has been working with US-based PCM TRIALS to provide clinicians for their decentralised clinical trials. These clinical trials have recently started and are based in Perth, Scotland. The partnership between PCM TRIALS and Thornbury Nursing Services means they have access to experienced staff whenever needed for future clinical trials.   

For the Perth trial, two Thornbury Nursing Services clinicians have been placed to help with the organisation’s clinical trial. Without our clinicians, PCM TRIALS would not have been able to carry out this trial. Due to the success of this partnership, PCM TRIALS have extended our one-year contract by three years.
