‘Adding the right amount
of expertise to a team for a defined
period, to successfully manage
a project during its lifecycle’

Our consultants act as ‘the FirstWave of experts’ that companies in Life Sciences need, to successfully bring a product to market. Our unique service model is our proactive answer to the time constraints these companies are facing, by providing them with niche specialists in every branch of Life Sciences and Healthcare.

We offer flexible, high-level expertise by an individual consultant or by a complete Clinical Research Team, containing profiles provided by us and selected by the client, on an insourced or outsourced basis.

FirstWave can function on site, using the clients’ tools, together with other Team Members working on the project. Our consultants can also work at the client’s premises, be home based, or work from FirstWave offices in Belgium.
