Job overview

This is an exciting time to be involved in CLL/Lymphoma management, with major advances in diagnostics and target therapies, including cellular immunotherapy. We are seeking to appoint a clinical research fellow on a fixed term basis for 12 months. The post will support the lymphoma service primarily at the Sutton site. The fellow will attend the major Wednesday CLL/Lymphoma clinic in Sutton and there may be instances when the candidate is required to cover the clinics in Chelsea. An important part of the role will be to support the clinical trial activity and it is anticipated that the candidate will review the patients in early phase clinical trials under the supervision of the Consultants. It is also anticipated that the postholder would carry out a clinical research project with an aim to publish results in peer reviewed journals. The post would not form part of study for a higher degree (PhD or research MD) although there may be opportunities to move into a higher degree following the post. The job would be ideal for a candidate who wanted to gain a deeper experience of CLL/Lymphoma management and to learn about clinical trial set up and delivery, including phase I/II trials, at a leading tertiary centre.

Flu Vaccination – What We Expect of our Staff

At The Royal Marsden we have an immune compromised patient population who we must protect as much as we can against the flu virus. Each year, seasonal flu affects thousands of people in the UK. Occurring mainly in winter, it is an infectious respiratory disease capable of producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a common cold, through to very severe or even fatal disease.

The wellbeing of our staff and patients is of the upmost importance to us, and it is the expectation of The Royal Marsden that all patient-facing staff have an annual flu vaccination, provided free of charge by the Trust.
