Clinical Supply Managers – expertly guiding you, every step of the journey
When you need the tools and expertise to plan, manage, and optimize clinical supply material for your clinical trials, our dedicated and flexible team of Clinical Supply Managers are ready to proactively guide you, every step of the journey.
Committed to supporting you and your patients, our large, responsive, and highly experienced global project management team will work with you hand in glove to deliver a flawless, end-to-end experience.
Because we care about coming through for every customer, every clinical trial, and every patient, our Clinical Supply Managers will serve as your primary point of contact, providing a golden thread between each component of your clinical supply chain, meticulous oversight, effective risk management, and open communication.
Precision project management, tailored just for you
Every clinical trial is unique, which is why we offer different tiers of Supply Chain Services to meet your precise needs.
Clinical Supply Chain Management
With our Clinical Supply Chain Management tier, we act as an extension of our clients’ teams. While you provide direction and decision making, we set to work managing timelines and deliverables for packaging, labelling, and distribution. We’ll also leverage our combined expertise in clinical supply chain management, report supply chain data to facilitate enhanced supply management, complete specific supply chain system tasks (i.e. IRT transactions), and execute your decisions.
Clinical Supply Chain Optimization
Our Clinical Supply Chain Optimization tier takes this relationship one step further to enhance our clients’ teams. With this model, Almac experts will direct operations but ultimate decision making remains with you. While you retain full visibility and sign off, we’ll set to work developing and maintaining supply plans, including kit design, production planning and IRT configuration. We’ll also take care of forecasting demand and campaign planning and make expert recommendations for ongoing optimizations based on continual analysis of your study data.
Clinical Supply Chain Ownership
Our final tier is Clinical Supply Chain Ownership, where our Clinical Supply Managers work on behalf of client teams and take full responsibility for the entire clinical supply chain operation; providing full direction, owning all decision making and execution of the supply plan. Here, our dedicated people will coordinate directly with our clients’ Clinical and CMC teams, assume the role of supply manager within the IRT/RTSM system to optimise configuration throughout the study, and ensure effective communication with all stakeholders.

Joanne Mackin
Clinical Supply Manager
“Working as a Clinical Supply Manager at Almac gives me an in-depth insight into clients’ unique challenges and allows me to deliver a personalized service that aligns and optimizes each component of their supply operation.
Regardless of the service level clients choose, as a Clinical Supply Manager it’s my job to deliver expert project management and supply chain services that positively influence all key performance indicators. That’s how I supply with care.”
Philip Gardener
Project Lead, Production
“We have innovative production processes and technology, and the industry’s most expert people, at our disposal ready and able to overcome key production challenges and ensure drugs reach patients at the right time and in the correct condition.
Remembering that there’s a patient at the end of every clinical supply chain, however complex, keeps me focused, motivated, and solutions orientated when project managing production activity. That’s how I supply with care.”
Ruth Gabrick
Project Group Manager – Labels
“Understanding unique clinical labelling requirements early is key to delivering regulatory compliant, country-specific, patient-centric labelling and avoiding delays, added costs, and negative patient impact.
I supply with care because I believe labelling has a vital role to play in supporting clients to deliver for their patients and maximize clinical trial potential.”
Edith Khaing
Project Services Lead, Operations
“Production lines and distribution strategies may seem far removed from the transformational impact clinical supplies can have on patients’ lives, but they are in fact fundamental.
That’s why I’m committed to working with clients to understand their exact requirements and help deliver innovative solutions that streamline operations and enhance performance and patient-centricity. That’s why I supply with care.”
Sagar Patel
Project Lead, Distribution
“Clinical distribution operations contain lots of moving, and interconnected, parts. Ensuring each expert person, system and process is aligned and working harmoniously to deliver for patients all over the world, while driving supply chain efficiencies for clients, is incredibly rewarding. That’s why I supply with care.”
