LINK Medical has acquired IRW Consulting AB (IRW), a Nordic CRO with more than 20 years of experience in clinical research outsourcing. With this acquisition LINK Medical will continue growing and strengthening its position in the Nordics, while improving its offerings and increasing its clinical operations capabilities in the region.
 
IRW brings in a team of experts across clinical research, with considerable experience in clinical operations.
