Patients often travel on behalf of life sciences companies. Some participate in clinical trials, while others may travel to a conference. These journeys can be life-improving and meaningful, but it is important for travelers and their sponsoring organizations to understand associated risks. #lifesciences #travelrisk #dutyofcare
About us
As the leading life sciences travel management and meetings company, we service more than 300 organizations in this sector across travel, meetings and consulting, including 90% of the top 20 pharmas in the world. Within our companies, we support customers across the healthcare spectrum from pharmaceuticals to medical device companies, biotechs, hospital systems, CROs, insurance and beyond. We understand that a positive travel and meetings experience can be a reputational differentiator for your organization – whether you are working with an HCP going to a speaker program, a colleague travelling to a congress or a patient participating in a clinical trial. Further, while patient centricity is a primary focus for life sciences, patient travel and logistics fulfillment is an oft-overlooked area, relying on agencies with varying competencies to manage. We shift the paradigm from traditional service delivery to a seamless patient experience. Our team's heightened focus on this population extends across all patient interactions to include patient advocacy and caregivers, transplants and medical needs, clinical trial participation, and improved payment and reimbursement solutions, all with associated communications and campaign strategies that enhance patient engagement. We work with our customers to reduce burdens related to participation and provide a positive experience while increasing transparency and enhancing duty of care.
