Research Nurses

Our nurses support the delivery of studies across the region. We will make sites aware of their involvement when we send out a new study for expression of interest. 

The nurses can also provide support to help train new members of the team and run an annual nurse forum to bring together primary care nurses and AHPs to share best practice. 

If you would like to request CRN nurse support to help deliver a study, please complete the online form.

The nursing team are keen to receive any feedback, this can be submitted via the questionnaire below:
