Become out partner and let’s change our patients’ life together!

Penta Hospitals Poland is a specialized unit operating in a capital group, managing clinical trial sites for 20 years in the whole Poland.

Our sites are currently located in Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, Świecie, Katowice, and Piaseczno, offering the execution of clinical trials in numerous therapeutic areas.

Although each of our sites differs in scope of specialization, experience, and scale of operations, we share a common vision: raising standards of medical care through the development of modern therapies and a wide access to clinical trials, regardless of the patient’s location.

We believe that innovations in medicine should be available wherever they are needed. That’s why we’ve created an integrated network of seven modern clinical research sites, also located in smaller towns. We operate within the strong network of the Penta Hospitals Poland medical group, which gives us access to European standards, knowledge, and organizational resources.

Three key values are in the
centre of our activities

Responsibility

  • for patients, to whom we offer safe and empathic participation in clinical trials;
  • for our employees, with whom we create the atmosphere of mutual support and development;
  • for our partners, for whom we are a reliable and transparent part of the research process;
  • for the future of medicine, which we now actively co-create with innovations and engagement.

Quality

which, for us, means not only the highest standard of research, but also the quality of teamwork and the quality of life of our patients. We prioritize meticulousness, ethics, and constant improvement in everything we do.

Partnership

understood by us as a close cooperation on every level: in teams, with investigators, with pharmaceutical companies, and, most of all, with patients. Health is the highest value for us, and the trust and clear communication are the foundations of our relations.

Our vision goes further than everyday practice

we want to have a real impact on the future of medicine by making clinical trials more accessible, more effective, and more understandable for every patient.
