Chiltern has become the sole provider of clinical research staff for monitoring clinical trials for all studies conducted in Western Europe by a top pharma company.

The clinical research associates (CRA) will be fully allocated to the pharma company and work with the client’s project managers under a functional service provider (FSP) model.

Chiltern believes that the FSP model is becoming increasingly popular because of the flexibility and cost savings it offers to clients. Teams hired under the FSP model often act as small departments in the client’s company, performing pressing objectives or short-term projects.

This gives the client the human resources needed to complete a task without hiring permanent staff.
