Study nurses for clinical trials in Finland

More than 20 study nurses in different parts of Finland, for sites that need more hands and for regions that are hard to staff. Booked under the same agreement as the rest of your study.

More hands at the site

A site can have the right participants and still lack the staff time a study needs. A study nurse from RecQ takes on the study work at the site, so the visits happen on schedule and the data are ready when the monitor arrives.

What our study nurses do

The daily study work at the site, in the order the protocol needs it.

Screening and scheduling

Pre-screening and screening of participants, and booking their study visits.

Informed consent

Supporting the investigator in the consent process and keeping the signed forms in order.

Study visits and sampling

Running the protocol visits, taking samples and handling them as the laboratory manual says.

Source data and eCRF

Writing the source data and keeping the eCRF up to date, so queries stay few.

Ready for monitoring

Preparing the site for monitoring visits: documents, data and open questions ready for the CRA.

Combined with monitoring

When RecQ also monitors the study, the nurse and the CRA know each other’s work and the handover between them is short.

Nurses where the study is

Our study nurses live and work in different regions of Finland. That helps when a site is far from the larger cities, when a region is hard to staff, or when a study needs visits in several regions at once. Tell us where your sites are and we suggest nurses who are near them.

Questions sponsors ask

How many study nurses do you have?

More than 20 study nurses are available to us across Finland, in different regions.

Can you cover a site outside the big cities?

Often, yes. Our nurses are spread across Finland, which is why sponsors use us for regions that are hard to staff. Tell us the town and we will tell you who is near.

How do we contract a study nurse?

Under RecQ’s master service agreement, the same one that covers our other services. If you already have it, no new contract is needed.

How do you charge?

By the hours actually worked. You never buy a block of hours in advance.

Can we combine nurses and monitoring?

Yes. Many studies use both. You keep one agreement and one contact person at RecQ.
