We are looking for a Nurse Associate with either previous Research experience to join our innovative and dynamic team to help Team FORCE (Faculty of Research and Clinical Education) achieve both local and national targets. The post-holder should also be familiar with the FORCE Team to help support the delivery of some pre-registration nursing education projects.
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is an integrated Trust and the only provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, serving a population of 284,300. It provides inpatient and outpatient services at the Manor Hospital as well as a wide range of services in the community. Walsall Manor houses the full range of district general hospital services under one roof. The £170 million development was completed in 2010, and ongoing upgrades ensure the Trust now has state-of-the-art facilities, including a Critical Care Unit, Neonatal Unit, Obstetric Theatre, and Integrated Assessment Unit. A new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre, opened in March 2023, has significantly improved emergency care facilities and capacity, providing almost 5,000 square metres of additional clinical space.
The post involves the recruitment, education and monitoring of trial patients and the collection and documentation of accurate data, including collection and management of tissue or samples. It will involve working collaboratively with the clinical trials team and the wider multi-disciplinary team in the management of a caseload of patients. Aside from managing projects and patient care, a key role of the post will be to promote Research within the Trust, working with the Education teams to create and deliver sessions to encourage clinicians involvement in Research.
