REF: MED170R


This post is designed for an individual wishing to gain experience in healthcare research and clinical trials as a first step towards clinical research. NHS Grampian supports about 60-70 commercially sponsored studies each year across a wide range of clinical specialities. We are looking for a medical doctor with sound generic clinical skills to support delegated medical duties in vaccine and other clinical trials and promote Good Clinical Practice.


Clinical responsibilities as research fellow will include clinical examination at screening and trial monitoring for patients participating in vaccine trials and other commercially sponsored studies. Experience will be gained in all aspects of study set-up and delivery as a member of a number of clinical research teams which will usually have a Medical consultant as PI and a research nurse. Additional support in research skills and mentoring will be provided by NHS Grampian R&D department and the University of Aberdeen.


You will be expected to work in core hours during the week. Out of hours duties are not anticipated unless there are exceptional circumstances. Patient visits may be scheduled for early morning or evening.

There is an extensive training programme, in house, which covers all aspects of healthcare research for NHS staff. In addition you will participate in activities for the University of Aberdeen Medical School research fellows. You will be encouraged to go to relevant training courses.


This post has been created to support the recruitment, delivery and completion of non-commercial and commercially sponsored studies and ensure compliance with Research Governance Framework. The post requires provision of clinical knowledge and skills which cannot be delegated to non-medical staff. There will be a session per week to develop your own research interest dependant on the activity vaccine trials.


Salary will be at the appropriate point on the salary scale for clinical academics below the level of consultant salary scale (£38,704 per annum).


Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Maggie Cruickshank, Director of NHS Grampian Research and Development Department ([email protected]).
