Medical writing around the clock

Integrated offices in England and Australia allow us to provide around-the-clock writing and design resource for our clients. On many occasions, we have picked up an urgent task and had the materials awaiting review by 9AM the following morning.

I have worked with the EDGE team on a number of HTA. The team are skilled medical writers, knowledgeable, professional and extremely responsive. Their integrated offices in the UK and Australia allow the timelines to be compressed and to address last-minute changes literally overnight. Thank you, EDGE. I look forward to our next project.
