Research Midwife

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a midwife to join the reproductive health and childbirth team at West Middlesex Hospital; this team is part of the larger research delivery team, so a warm welcome into a friendly, supportive environment can be expected., This role includes setting up and managing mainly NIHR portfolio studies, covering a wide range of areas including preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, gynaecology and early pregnancy. We are committed to giving women the option to take part in, and experience the benefits of, clinical research as part of their routine care.

The role includes clinical care of women participating in studies, as well as sample and data collection and screening.

We are a small team who are dedicated to growth and development at West Middlesex Hospital. Within the Women's Health Research Team we deliver studies covering a variety of women's health conditions in both gynaecology, pregnancy and reproductive health. Within the team we support our team members to grow and develop.

The team very much has a collaborative approach to both the studies we select to deliver and the delivery of the studies. Our key goals are to provide studies which will improve the health of women and their families and to be accessible to all demographics. The trust has undertaken a lot of improvements to ensure that women and their families can access relevant information in a variety of mediums and languages and this is something we are passionate about in the Women's Health Research Team.
