Senior Research Nurse/Practitioner

6 days ago

Sutton, United Kingdom The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

Our Breast Radiotherapy team is due to conduct a commercial trial at RM, CCR6008 GUARD. This trial requires a research nurse/clinical research practitioner to run this study, closely supervise patients during the application of a topical gel (drug) prior to each dose of radiotherapy, monitor skin and systemic toxicities for all participants as well as collecting blood samples and monitoring vital signs before and after each treatment during the safety run-in phase of the trial. These are all tasks that the existing administrative research staff in our team cannot undertake, and we therefore need to employ a clinical research nurse/research practitioner for 12 months for the safe and successful delivery of this trial.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work under the supervision of the Team Leader or Senior Research Coordinator, and has a key role to play in the day-to-day running of clinical trials within the Trust. These trials may be related to anti-cancer treatment ( chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, gene therapy or surgery), symptom management or some other aspect of cancer care, such as screening. Central to the role are the recruitment, education and monitoring of patients entering a clinical trial. Working closely with the principal investigator and members of the multidisciplinary team, s/he will support patients who choose to participate in clinical trials by providing advice and information and acting as the patients' advocate. An important aspect of the role is the maintenance of accurate and comprehensive records of data derived from the research studies. The post holder will be involved in ensuring that any research undertaken within the department safeguards the well-being of the patients, and is conducted within ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines for Research.

The opportunity to undertake personal research projects or further study, in consultation with the lead medical investigator and Senior Nurse, Clinical Trials is also encouraged.
