Research Nurse B6

The significance of the Research Nurse at The Royal Surrey lies in the profound synergy between expert clinical practice and the active delivery of healthcare science. This role expands the traditional nursing vocation, allowing a practitioner to be the vital link that moves a research protocol from a static document into a high-quality clinical reality within the specialised field of oncology.

Navigating the Research Journey

At the heart of this role is the opportunity to guide patients through the unique complexities of research delivery. This environment allows for a structured and highly focused relationship with participants. The meaning is found in ensuring that every participant is empowered to contribute to the future of healthcare science with confidence. There is a deep professional reward in being the expert presence who ensures that the patient’s experience is safe, informed, and seamless as they help unlock new possibilities in oncology care.

Research Set-up and Delivery

• Study Coordination: Support the initial set-up and ongoing delivery of oncology research studies, ensuring all activities comply with ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and international regulations.
• Patient Screening: Identify and screen potential subjects for research eligibility, proactively developing action plans to overcome any recruitment barriers.
