Italian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Manufacturing / pharmacy medication management | | Italian term or phrase: a scorta ed in transito | This is a medical question in a sense, but I thought I would have more luck (and more responses) if I asked it as a Manufacturing question.
I'm translating the CV of a pharmacist involved in a clinical trial of a medication. At one point in describing his work experience, he writes:
"... ho avuto modo di occuparmi di: gestione dei farmaci assistenziali *a scorta ed in transito*. I've already asked about "farmaci assistenziali" (any suggestions would be appreciated, however) ... but I don't know how to translate this "a scorta ed in transito" segment. For "a scorta" I think he means "in stock" ... but I don't understand the way it contrasts with "in transito".
Please help me understand what he means here, and how we would say it in English (US English, in case it makes a difference).
Grazie dell'aiuto! |

Asker: Ciao Phil, sometimes the simple ones seem most mysterious. And regarding your other comment ... No, he doesn't like to use bullet points and commas, and sometimes has an aversion to the word "and" also.
