Clinical, regulatory and technical documentation between English and Italian.
Documents that are read by people who check them.
A protocol is followed by an investigator, a leaflet is read by a patient, a manual is used by a technician with the device in their hands. Each has its own conventions, and the conventions are not decoration: they are what makes the document usable and acceptable.
What we translate
Three kinds of document, three sets of rules.
Clinical
Study documentation, where the wording has to stay stable across every document in the same trial.
Study protocols and synopses
Investigator brochures
Informed consent documents
Case report forms
Clinical study reports
Regulatory
Product information, where established phrasing matters more than elegant phrasing.
Summary of product characteristics
Patient information leaflets
Labelling and packaging text
Variation documentation
Safety reports
Devices and technical
Documentation written to be acted on, where an ambiguous instruction is a defect.
Instructions for use
Device and equipment manuals
Technical specifications
Standard operating procedures
Scientific publications
What we watch
The details that come back if you miss them.
None of this is exotic. It is the ordinary discipline of the field, applied every time rather than when there is room in the schedule.
