Home Trial Support

The MRN operates a series of partnerships with nursing organisations throughout Europe, North America and many other countries enabling them to set up nursing teams to run home trial support.

The speed of set up of our services depends on several factors, such as the legal framework in the country as it related to nursing, the availability of nurse resources through our partner organisations and our familiarity with operating in that country. We split countries in to three tiers based on these criteria:

Tier one – Expected set up time four to twelve weeks
Tier two – Expected set up time 12 to 18 weeks
Tier three – Expected set up time 18 plus weeks

Tier one is defined as those countries in which we have already operated or in which we are fully prepared to set up operations and/or where our partners have a significant presence.
Tier two is defined as those countries where our preparation for operations is more limited but in which our partners operate.
Tier three is defined as those countries in which we have no experience and our partners have low or zero coverage.

There is an exhaustive list of activities that can be readily undertaken in the home, including but not limited to:

• Drug administration
• Concomitant medication administration
• Blood sampling and centrifuging – collection and transfer to lab under controlled conditions
• Patient assessment and data recording (paper/eCRF)
• Clinical efficacy assessments
• Safety monitoring
• Drug accountability

Tier one: UK, Republic of Eire, Spain, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, USA, Canada, Poland and Australia.

Tier two: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Ukraine, Croatia, Serbia, Slovak republic, Greece, Romania, Austria, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand and Czech Republic.
