The Study Support Service Manager will assume a key leadership position in the Regional RDN (RRDN) Study Support Service, which will be seamlessly integrated within the collective national Study Support Service. This service serves as the cornerstone of the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN), facilitating the effective delivery of studies throughout the system while enhancing strategic capacity and capability.
The role will be entrusted with the delivery of critical services across a defined portfolio of specialties and settings. These encompass pre-approval services such as Planning and Placement Service/national cost and attribution tools, as well as post-approval services including portfolio oversight and on-request services. Central to the role is the cultivation of a robust knowledge base within the assigned portfolio area, achieved through the establishment of communities of practice with relevant study and site delivery teams. By facilitating the exchange of best practices, the post-holder will ensure optimal study performance as required.
The role will also work in collaboration with Regional Specialty and Setting Leads, actively engaging in regional and national improvement projects, aligning efforts with strategic objectives, and fostering continuous improvement (CI) across the network.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has 12 Regional Research Delivery Networks across the U.K. These work with the national Coordinating Centre (RDNCC) and the Department of Health and Social Care to provide a joint RDN leadership function via the RDN Board, so that the NIHR RDN operates as a single, transparent organisation with a shared vision and purpose. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is Host Organisation for the Yorkshire RRDN region.
The RDN supports the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of funded research across the health and care system in England for the benefit of patients, the health and care system and the economy. The RDN supports clinical trials and other well-designed health and social care research studies, including studies that are delivered outside of an NHS setting, as well as public health studies that require the recruitment of individuals within an NHS setting or an episode of care which involves contact with the NHS.
The RRDNs have three key roles:
- Providing support to research sites to enable the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of funded research across the health and care system in England.
- Enabling the strategic development of new and more effective research delivery capability and capacity, including bringing research to under-served regions and communities with major health and care needs.
- Working jointly with the Coordinating Centre in the strategic oversight of the NIHR RDN to ensure that the Portfolio is maintained as a cohort of high-quality, fully funded, viable and deliverable studies.
It will also ensure that the NIHR RDN serves the research delivery needs of investigators and R&D teams and is responsive to the changing domestic and global environment for health and care, life sciences and health research.
