About the position

Within Gastro Dermatology Rheumatology, we have chosen to organize our clinical studies under a separate unit where about 15 nursing staff work. The group will have two nursing managers from the beginning of the year, so shared leadership will be relevant. We are now looking for two research nurses who want to be part of our group, one position in rheumatology dermatology. Here you can read more about ME Gastro, Dermatology, Rheumatology.

The work as a research nurse primarily involves coordinating clinical trials and working with various registers. The work includes both patient-related and non-patient-related administrative tasks. Practical patient-related tasks may include participating in the patient consent process, working with data collection (e.g., ECGs, samples, biopsies), administering medications, and handling and sending various types of sampling materials. Non-patient-related tasks may include identifying and recruiting patients for studies, as well as coordinating study patients' visits and examinations to then enter this data into various databases.

Each research nurse has primary responsibility for a number of studies, which means that the nurse has extra responsibility/knowledge about their studies and the patients participating in these studies. The nurse works closely with the other research nurses, study physicians, clinic staff, and any external sponsors, such as pharmaceutical companies.

The work also includes participating in collecting data in various disease registers used for research and quality assurance.

The working hours are primarily daytime, Monday to Friday. There may occasionally be meetings in the evenings or weekends, as well as travel with overnight stays outside of Stockholm and Sweden in connection with study starts or conferences or training. The work will be performed at the Solna site, but there is an opportunity for occasional remote work after agreement with colleagues and the nursing manager.

• plans, organizes, and prioritizes work efficiently. You set and adhere to deadlines
