This is an exciting role for an experienced Research Nurse to join a joined-up collaboration of practices who wish to deliver research to their patients to enable better health outcomes, to help find new innovative treatments to help treat diseases with evidence-based research within the NIHR CRDC (Primary Care). Research is at the heart of our values & part of everyday practice in the NHS. It gives hope to patients & helps improve current treatment, medicines & develop new treatments which enables hope to happen. As part of the NIHR CRDC (Primary Care) there are 5 practices in the Poole locality and 1 practice in the Purbeck locality. We have had an exponential increase of clinical trials secured within our CRDC over the last 8 months. The pipeline of trials covers many disease areas, and this is a very exciting opportunity to help support our patients in their research journey.
Main duties of the job
The RRN would be expected to work across all sites to help set up research services & deliver commercial clinical research trials. The RRN will work with the Lead Roving Research Nurse to ensure that the highest professional standard of nursing care is delivered to research participants and, where relevant their families, in partnership with all clinical teams and in adherence to all NIHR CRDC (Primary Care) & TAP protocols/policies & guidelines. The role of the RRN needs to be flexible in line with the present atmosphere for change within health service delivery and the variance of research studies undertaken. It is essential that the RRN must work under their own sphere of competency & be able to work autonomously across all collaboration sites with recognising the need to reach out for help when required. It is the role of the RRN to adhere to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) at all times enabling a safe research journey for each.
