This team will be made up of experienced Research practitioners from Bands 3 to 6, with the initial emphasis on research into the areas of Rheumatology and Respiratory conditions.

We already have an enviable track record in these two areas and hope to consolidate this by increasing our recruitment to all research studies, especially the prestigious commercial research commissioned by the life sciences industry.


The role will also be expected to manage their own portfolio of clinical research studies, with an emphasis on commercial studies and they will also take the lead role in setting up and managing new studies.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.


WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay


Our community services for adults are provided in people's homes, community centres, clinics, GP Practices, community hospitals and our main hospitals.

Our aim is to work with people to help them remain independent, improve their health and manage their conditions through high quality care, advice and support.
