Are you interested in supporting the development of evidence based care & new treatments in the speciality area of Haematology? Would you like to work at the forefront of medical and nursing practice through research? If so, we would like to hear from you…

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Research & Development Directorate to join us as a Research Nurse working on our Haematology portfolio. You will be responsible for delivering and clinically managing your own portfolio of academic and commercial research studies in Haematology and also providing research support to investigators. This post will enable you to gain clinical knowledge and skills around a variety of specialist conditions through working closely with the consultants and specialist nurses and multi-disciplinary teams.

A central part of the role will be to ensure that you provide excellent research monitoring and care to patients who have consented to participate in research and that the research/clinical teams you work with are appropriately trained, supported and developed within their professional/research roles. An important aspect of the role will be the maintenance of highly accurate and comprehensive records of data derived from the research studies.

Within this post you will develop processes and systems for maximising the recruitment of patients to academic and commercial studies and will ensure that research patients/participants are monitored, supported and receive the highest level of research nursing care. You will work across a range of studies including observational research, novel drug therapy and clinical interventions. Under the direction of the Lead Consultants, Team Leader and Senior Research Nurses you will coordinate the clinical aspects of trials, participate in the recruitment and follow up of patients with responsibility for the assessment, planning and on-going care and safety of the research participants throughout their study journey. The post holder will be required to work autonomously with supervision and guidance of the Team Leader and Senior Research Nurses.

Sustainability is integral to the Trust achieving the NHS Net Zero target. All staff are therefore actively encouraged and supported to implement new ways of working within their field of expertise.

Experience of staff management and excellent communication skills are essential. Additionally, experience of working on academic and commercial research studies is desirable but not essential. Well-developed skills and experience in the area of Haematology is also desirable and an interest in developing your career in these specialist areas with a willingness to train will be essential.

The post will further develop the nurse’s / practitioner's specialist research skills under the guidance of the Research Sister. We are keen to invest in and develop our staff and a variety of training opportunities will be provided.

Research Department

RCHT has a well-established research infrastructure running in excess of 300 studies across many specialities across the three Trust sites and also provides an outreach research service into the community. The growth in our research, development and innovation culture within the Trust has seen a year on year increase in the number of studies being carried out, bringing equality of research opportunities to our local population. As a department we see research as key in developing and innovating safe and effective care for patients and the research teams are at the forefront of this process.

Although your main focus will be within the Haematology research team, you will be joining a wider dynamic team of over 100 research staff who, across the acute and community sectors recruited in excess of 4000 patients in Cornwall in the last financial year. Each year we aim to expand our portfolio to open studies in areas within the Trust that are new to research, increase our local research portfolio and attract further research to our sites.
