Height, weight, frame size, venipuncture, vital signs, electrocardiograms, spirometry and laboratory procedures related mainly with collection and processing of biological samples, etc.You may also be involved in obtaining informed consent and medical history from participants.

In this job you will gain a profound insight in how clinical trials are executed. It ́ll have you interacting with Medical Investigators and Study Managers to coordinate the screening scheduling system so they meet deadlines on volunteer screening and selection.

2. Be the right-hand support of the Clinic Supervisor, especially when it comes to:

Reviewing and Quality-Controlling essential documents for Ethics Committee approvals,Attending study planning meetings,Producing weekly staff duty rota to achieve team ́s optimum time management and utilising the full potential of the teams involved.
