Gastroenterology Research Nurse

We have an exciting opportunity for an organised, dynamic and adaptable Band 6

Research Nurse to work collaboratively with the QMUL Wingate Clinical Trials Unit

and Barts Health NHS Trust. The research that we conduct is focused on the holistic

approach to patient care and significantly contributes to the future progress of

healthcare for all. Working clinically with the team you will promote high standards of

both patient care and research practice and contribute to the recruitment and

retention of patients in research studies.

The post holder's primary role will be responsible for assessing and managing the

care pathways for patients and carers on the Wingate Clinical Trials Portfolio which

includes commercial and non-commercial studies. This will involve the recruitment,

education and monitoring of Gastroenterology patients in studies and the collection

and documentation of accurate data. You will work closely with IBD and

Gastroenterology consultants and investigators of Queen Mary University London

(QMUL) and Barts Health NHS Trust. You will work collaboratively with the wider

multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in the management of your own caseload of patients in

the clinical study. The post holder will deliver the study under the leadership of the

Lead and Senior Research Nurses at the Royal London Hospital and The Wingate

Clinical Trials Unit.

This post represents an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, self-motivated,

organised nurse to develop their clinical research skills in a multi-site trial of an

intervention working with a multidisciplinary team. Computer skills, team-working

skills, flexibility and drive will be required to ensure the success of this post. You will

need to have an excellent level of written and verbal communication skills and a

meticulous eye for detail. Research experience is preferable, but not necessary as

training will be provided.

This post is fixed term for 1 year.
