Trosolwg o'r swydd
- Are you an amazing nurse with a passion for research?
- Or are you looking for an entry post into health research ?
- Is it time for a new challenge in your career?
Answer yes to any of these questions and this could be the post for you.
The role works closely with a wide range of disciplines, to support patients access good quality research.
You will spend some days in clinic supporting patients face to face but also a significant period of time office based. The office time is spent ensuring accurate data is collected for our patients and learning how to establish new NIHR studies within our Trust. Confidence using IT systems is essential, as well as compassion and excellent communication skills which are paramount.
We are the first point of call for patients on research trials and no two days are the same.
You will be a registered nurse with current NMC registration, with proven relevant post-registration experience.
An understanding of the clinical research process would be an advantage but if not, these posts will initially be offered at Band 5 to allow training and development to be undertaken to then progress to a band 6 role; or if relevant past clinical research skills can be demonstrated these posts will be offered at Band 6.

The Research Development and Innovation Department works closely with Trust based clinicians, university, NHS and industry partners to assess a trial’s feasibility, initiate set-up and conduct high quality clinical research. This gives the local population of East Lancashire the opportunity to take part in research studies associated with their clinical conditions and the care and services they receive.
You will be responsible for ensuring that clinical trials and research studies are undertaken following Nursing and Midwifery council guidelines and as per Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP). The post holder will be required to support all the aspects of a study protocol, with supervision and agreed competencies, assist study lead nurse and members of the multidisciplinary team in delivering agreed protocols to time and targets.
You will also be required to work independently undertaking nursing care activities and perform interventions within clinical trials specific protocols.
We support a varied mix of simple data collection studies and complex drug research studies. The successful post holder will be supported in establishing their own small portfolio of studies and cross-cover of the wider portfolio is required of all team members.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
This post will be based within the Chronic Conditions research team, supporting research studies within various disciplines, such as respiratory, gastroenterology, dermatology and hepatology.
You will be working as part of our small, friendly team, responsible for identifying, recruiting and supporting patients throughout their research journey.
Most of the research activity is undertaken Monday to Friday within normal clinic hours, however clinic/research activity times may also vary and early starts (7:30 onwards) or late finishes (after 5pm) may be required to accommodate studies involving morning theatre lists & late running clinics. This will always be on a planned basis & a flexible working policy is in place.
Our team ethos is to maximise the potential of our own, individual skills. We support each other to be the best we can be. Every member of our team is of equal importance and we welcome new ideas. Our focus is always on providing the best possible care for research participants in East Lancashire.
