CRDC Sussex
CRDC Sussex is transforming commercial clinical trial delivery across Sussex, making research more accessible, efficient, and inclusive. Working with NHS organisations, primary care, community providers, diagnostic services, research teams, and commercial sponsors, we are streamlining study set-up processes and improving access to innovative research opportunities.
Role Overview
As the Interventional Research Pathway Manager, you will lead the development and implementation of efficient study set-up pathways that enable commercial clinical trials to open faster and more consistently across the region. You will work with a wide range of stakeholders to identify and address operational challenges, improve collaboration, and support the achievement of national research performance targets.
Commercial trials require coordination across multiple services, including pharmacy, imaging, pathology, governance, and clinical teams. You will help remove barriers to study activation by developing sustainable processes that support high-quality research delivery.
