Specialist Translations Company sold to RWS Holdings
In the world of Medicine, patients own assessments play an increasing and vital role in treatment and care development. The information gathered in Patient Recorded Outcomes (PROs) is multi-dimensional, assessing health related Quality of Life, Symptom Assessments, Patient Satisfaction etc.
Patient Reported Outcome data is gathered through questionnaires that are constructed to measure and quantify the information gathered in a standardised way. Translating PROs is a complex task which follows a strict methodology in order to enable accurate assessment of data from multi-national trials.
Our Client, PharmaQuest Limited, provides translation of PRO questionnaires to an international client base which includes pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organisations and academia. The two major Shareholders, Darren Clayson and Aneese VerjeeLorenz, established the Company in 2005. Both were qualified in Health Psychology and had considerable experience in outcomes research. Aneese had coauthored the internationally recognised Principles of Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures.
