Employee insights

Leah“I have always been interested in ways to improve health and quality of life. It has been a great experience so far working at OCS Consulting.
We have a great team in our business unit OCS Life Sciences with lots of different specialty skills. This way there is always someone to exchange thoughts with when dealing with complex issues”


Arjan: “The biggest challenge in my work for OCS Life Sciences, a business unit of OCS Consulting, is to make the translation of clinical data collected through highly diverse eCRFs into a harmonized database. Understanding the goal of the study with the associated choices of data collection, and a thorough knowledge of the standards, are conditions for setting up the translation process efficiently. By harmonizing, I can work on an overarching database that clearly shows the connections between different studies and can substantiate medication claims.”
