Following the acquisition of Ad-Ex Translations Ltd, RWS has consolidated its resources in the field of medical/pharmaceutical translations, and has formed a dedicated Medical Translation Division, with its principal offices in Wimbledon, London.
The translation of medical and pharmaceutical documents is a specialised business - requiring professional knowledge, accuracy and timely delivery. Experts in our Medical Translation Division have been providing these skills to the world's major drug companies for more than 40 years.
Specialising in medicine and pharmacology, the Division serves many of the world's major drug companies, translating from and into approximately 30 languages, including those of the more recent EU accession countries. The Division is equipped to handle projects of any size or complexity, and translations conform to EMEA and FDA guidelines.
Documents translated include:
- Articles for specialist journals
- Books and sponsored publications
- Regulatory Affairs documentation
- Clinical trial documentation
- Product information (IFUs, SPCs, PILs, labelling)
- Conference proceedings
- Medical insurance documentation
- Presentations
- Training courses, instructions, video scripts etc.
Translations into English from the more common languages are handled mostly in-house by the Division’s team of medically-qualified subject-specialist translators and editors, and supported by RWS’s strict quality procedures. Out of English work is produced in the target country and exposed to the same rigorous quality controls. Our medical and pharmaceutical translators are all subject specialists, experienced in the requirements of the CTD (Common Technical Document) and associated documentation.
The Medical Translation Division works for companies in the following fields: medicine and pharmacology (human and veterinary), biotechnology, homoeopathy and natural medicine, healthcare, medical device manufacture, diagnostic equipment manufacture, medical publishing, medical insurance and reinsurance, medical communications, etc. |
