Flying Study Nurse

We bring trial assistants and doctors together

Flying Study nurses drive clinical studies while keeping an eye on budget, schedule and recruitment frequency. This makes professional study assistants – such as the Invisio Flying Study nurses – a valuable resource for successful study projects, which also benefits sponsors.

More than 200 Invisio Flying Study nurses support sponsors/CROs throughout Europe in realising clinical study projects of phases 1 to 4 and in complying with international quality standards. As external service providers, they take on project-related tasks in clinics without their own research departments and test centres with high staffing levels and are the contact persons for clients, authorities, doctors, patients and relatives.
