PharmImage began as a resource for internal training within a European CRO, establishing a tailor-made, module-based training plan. It soon became clear that the initial scheme could be expanded to an international level. Many employees at CROs and pharmaceutical companies come from life-science careers (biologists, chemists, laboratory medical staff, nurses, physicians, pharmacists etc.) with no previous experience in the development of pharmaceutical products. An introductory book was written for those with no knowledge of the branch and the series will be continued in other areas such as quality assurance, laboratory data, safety etc. Pharmimage also has developed interim management capabilities to support companies in phases of transition, where a new management structure needs to be implemented.
