Research Nursing For Decentralized Clinical Trials
Specialists in Decentralized Clinical Trials
Our service offers a truly convenient way for patients to participate in clinical research by taking the trial to them.
A range of protocol and procedures can be taken in the patient’s home, from collecting blood samples to administering complex IMP via infusions.
Founded by clinical nurse specialists, we are a global provider of home Care services for patients in clinical trials.
What procedures can be carried out in the home?
IMP can be either collected by the homecare team from the pharmacies and transported to the subject or if a temperature- controlled environment is necessary a courier can be used. Any blood samples taken can be processed and spun in the home and we can transport samples on dry ice as necessary.
Our research nurses can complete ECG’s, questionnaires, undertake clinical monitoring in home. This minimises unnecessary trips to the hospital or clinic for the patients.

What do our sponsors say?
We had the opportunity to work with Clinyx Care to provide home nursing services.
Throughout the start up phase, Clinyx Care were visionary, responsive & flexible and this continued throughout the COVID- 19 period when home nursing contract was handed.
We're so pleased with the service handed that we're considering erecting a home nursing element into our new protocols where possible. Our thanks go to Clinyx Care for helping us keep our patients safe and on study, whilst relieving some burden on the NHS throughout this grueling time
