Main duties of the job
As a Clinical Research Fellow in Gynaecology, you play a key role in supporting the delivery of high-quality clinical research while contributing to patient care within the Gynaecology Diagnostic and Outpatient Treatment Unit. You are responsible for identifying and recruiting patients to the EASYCARE study, obtaining informed consent, undertaking examinations and study procedures, and ensuring accurate and timely data collection. You work closely with consultants, research nurses, and multidisciplinary teams across UCLH and partner sites to maintain recruitment targets, manage study protocols, and uphold patient safety. The role requires excellent clinical skills, attention to detail, organisational ability, and strong communication to engage patients and colleagues effectively.
