You will be joining an enthusiastic, friendly, and motivated multidisciplinary team in a dynamic teaching hospital in central London. You will be working across the multiple areas to deliver clinical research to a high standard. The research portfolio consists of COVID-19 research trials looking at treatments, prophylactic and other vaccines. You will work closely with the R&D Lead, Principal Investigators and clinical staff to ensure a safe and high-quality level of care for our patients and their families or carers.

The clinical research practitioner (CRP) will play a key role in ensuring that any research undertaken within the department safeguards the well-being of the patients and is conducted according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trial) Regulations 2004 and Amended Regulations 2006.
