The role will involve providing support for studies within the NET portfolio, including patient-facing study delivery, support and management, from the set-up phase through to dissemination of research findings. Within the role, research nurses are expected to recruit, educate and monitor research participants, completing clinical assessments and accurate collection and documentation of research data. 

This role has an emphasis on research integration within the clinical setting here at Imperial, and very much focusses on patient advocacy throughout the research process.
