Tertiary services are also provided to the West of Scotland whilst national services are provided to the whole of Scotland. We care passionately about the quality of care which we deliver and have an exciting vision for the future which promotes a culture of person-centred care, placing the patient at the heart of everything we do.

Glasgow has a worldwide reputation as a centre of excellence for medical research with NHSGGC and its partners are involved in over 1000 active trials directly involving patients as well as 40 high impact innovation projects and numerous projects involving data and tissue.

The role:

The Director of Research and Innovation post is a senior leadership position within NHSGGC responsible for managing the budget provided by the Chief Scientist Office and strategic and operational responsibility for Glasgow research infrastructure including clinical research facilities; clinical research imaging; Biorepository; Safehaven; Research Pharmacy; Project Management Unit; Sponsor team, R&D Management approval, Innovation team and two Research Ethics committees.
