The Unit is one of the largest in the UK and conducts national and international randomised late phase and early phase clinical trials in a variety of clinical fields. Our main aim is to support the challenge of changing clinical practice for the better and our past results and current work have already helped to do this. Our results inform the academic development of this specialised field of clinical research on a national and international level.

Working in a multidisciplinary team, you will have excellent interpersonal, communication and time management skills. You will have the opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of clinical trial research activities, as well as assisting trial statisticians in clinical trial and general consulting activities. Opportunities to undertake further Masters study may be possible.
