About Us

ICON has been conducting clinical studies for over 25 years and our reputation for safety, scientific integrity and compliance allows us to enjoy a first class reputation with clients from major pharmaceutical companies and volunteers who participate in our studies.

The safety of volunteers is our primary concern. All our studies are conducted under internationally agreed guidelines set down by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Each study is reviewed by an Independent Ethics Committee which is responsible for ensuring that your safety has been thoroughly considered, that the information provided to you is fair, balanced and accurate and that your rights as a volunteer are maintained.

We really do value our volunteers who we rely on to help with our studies. In return for your time and commitment you will receive between £400 and £3000 (dependent on the length of study and number of precodures)! Although our volunteers are compensated financially, many take part because they’re keen to help the world of medicine progress new treatments which may improve the quality of life of people all over the world.
