Additional Information:
As part of ongoing development at CHI towards the opening of the new Children’s Hospital, a rationalisation and integration of the existing clinical research infrastructure across all sites is being undertaken. Under the leadership of the CHI Director of Research & Innovation, a new Research & Innovation Office (RIO) and Clinical Research Centre (CRC) are being set-up within CHI and will bring all aspects of clinical research infrastructure together under a single governance and management structure. The Clinical Research Centre is the forerunner of the new paediatric Clinical Research Facility (CRF) that will be embedded in the new Children’s Hospital. The CRC is made up of a team of research staff working across CHI sites to support clinical teams in the conduct of clinical trials and other clinical research studies that require specialist expertise and support.
The Clinical Research Nurse is a key part of this team, working to support Investigators and research teams with clinical research activities. They will act as the primary advocate for the patient, both prior to and throughout their participation in a research study or clinical trial. As part of a team of Research Nurses, they will work closely with the CRC Operations Manager, Project Managers, Research Nurses and Research Coordinators, ensuring that study activities are carried out effectively and in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards. They will have particular focus on assisting the Principal Investigator to enrol patients to studies and clinical trials and schedule and conduct study visits, ensuring patient safety throughout and maintaining the Investigator Site File.
Throughout the research study lifecycle, this role will provide continuity back-up and support as required to other Clinical Research Nurses and Coordinators to ensure the smooth running of research activities from set-up through to closeout, across the portfolio.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a highly motivated team and a dynamic environment, and to be involved in bringing advancements in health outcomes for children and young adults in Ireland. The role offers opportunities for ongoing professional development and the successful candidate will be provided with training and mentoring specific to their role.
