About The CRDC Sussex
The Commercial Research Delivery Centre Sussex is reimagining the way commercial clinical trials are set up and delivered, working across Sussex to ensure wider access to research for our whole community.
Building on the infrastructure, support, and expertise already in place across the region, CRDC Sussex is bringing together system partners to accelerate clinical trial set up and delivery, while working closely with our public stakeholders to widen our reach to people that haven’t previously had access to commercial research.
The Sussex CRDC is not just another piece of research infrastructure; we are implementing processes that are shaping the future of commercial research in Sussex. As our Digital Research Access Manager you’ll sit at the heart of this transformation. You’ll be responsible for accelerating research processes by integrating digital tools and streamlining workflows. You will manage coordination between multiple partners, (including NHS Trusts, General Practices, care homes, community pharmacy, and beyond), working with leading pharmaceutical companies and cutting-edge research centres, to make commercial clinical trials faster, smarter, and available to more people. Currently research delivery depends substantially on accessing data about potential participants on a clinician-by-clinician basis.
