Working in our state-of-the-art Clinical Trial Imaging Clinic in West London, as Clinical Research Nurse, your role will be to provide care to our clinical study participants (patients) and coordinate the clinical support activities vital to the safe completion of the procedures involved in our Imaging and Experimental Medicine studies.
Reporting to the Lead Clinical Research Nurse within a small, supportive team forming part of our Clinical Operations group, this is a highly patient-centric role. Your work will be divided between hands-on, participant-contact work (welcoming & explaining procedures / providing reassurance, conducting pre-clinical assessments, administering specified drugs, inserting cannulas, taking blood samples, etc.), coordinating logistics and set-up activities (planning necessary assessments, scheduling appointments, etc.) and ensuring the timely completion of all related documentation for the studies to which you're assigned, in compliance with current regulatory requirements.
The safety of our participants is of paramount importance to us. Reflecting this, your focus will be on making sure that they feel - at all times - informed, comfortable and supported.
