PharmaQuest is a medical translation company specialising in the translation and linguistic validation of patient reported outcome measures. Their experience and specialisation, in addition to their knowledge of the development and validation of patient reported outcome measures highlights that they are more than just another translation company; they truly understand patient reported outcome measures. PharmaQuest is based in Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom and was founded in 2005. Their goal was to develop a company that would offer clients real expertise in the area of translation and linguistic validation of patient reported outcome (PRO) measures. They have resisted expanding their services beyond this core focus and now operate as one of the only companies worldwide specialising in the translation and linguistic validation of PRO measures. Since their inception they have developed a strong reputation for high quality work, meeting tight timelines and in particular being highly responsive and flexible to their clients’ needs. These values have resulted in PharmaQuest developing a large client base and being listed as a preferred vendor for a number of prestigious research bodies including the EuroQoL and EORTC Quality of Life groups.
