Job description
Do you have experience in using clinical IT systems? Are you an excellent communicator? Can you work with staff to learn new skills and support their ...
As a Research EPR Practitioner you will play an integral part in maximising the Epic EPR functionality to identify, screen and recruit eligible participants into research trials within each organisation.
A key element of the role will be supporting staff across Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals Plymouth to understand and use new and existing Epic research tools effectively; contributing to training, standard operating procedure development, and ongoing process improvement. The post holder will monitor the effectiveness of implemented solutions, identify further optimisation opportunities, and escalate complex system or governance issues to the appropriate EPR or research leadership.
This post holder will work in partnership with the EPR team to design systems that will support us to both increase the number of patients being recruited into clinical trials and the speed of recruitment. This will help us to meet the national 30-day target for recruiting the first patient into a study once it has opened which is a key part of the overall 150-day set up metric.
Why Work With Us?
As part of the clinical research team, you will work closely with the research application team to ensure the Epic EPR system is configured and used clinically in a way that will deliver maximising participant recruitment into clinical research.
You will be expected to work with colleagues from across the OneDevon Team, research departments and governance leads to ensure a truly collaborative and aligned optimisation phase.
