The post holder will support the co-ordination and management of cardiovascular research projects particularly Vascular medicine, Interventional Cardiology, Electrophysiology, and Cardiothoracic studies. The main focus of the role will be in supporting the delivery and development of the research portfolio through identification of suitable participants, co-ordination, recruitment, performance and maintenance of study documentation as well as administration of Investigational Medicinal Products as appropriate. This role requires the successful candidate to be patient facing, including taking consent and samples from patients.

• To input into the feasibility and set-up processes for new studies, including patient target setting.
• To organise/attend site selection meetings, site initiation meetings and other relevant meetings.
• To recognise if the design of studies conflicts with regulatory frameworks and legal requirements and to act on concerns raised.
• To ensure that the clinical study protocols you are working on are adhered to and that research does not deviate from them.
• To identify and help recruit patients eligible to enter clinical research studies.
• To seek and participate in informed consent processes prior to any research-related procedure, in accordance with the study protocol and local procedures.
• To register/randomise patients into research studies.
• To identify barriers to recruitment to research studies and ensure that the Team Leader is aware of them, and to support and develop action plans and strategies to overcome these barriers as required.
