Research Nurse/Study Administrator
Controlled trial of dexamethasone in neonatal chronic lung disease:
an 11-15 year follow-up
WHITLEY COUNCIL NURSE GRADE F: £17,700 – 21,675
Applications are invited for a Research Nurse to co-ordinate the
dexamethasone follow-up study at the NPEU. The study is funded by
Action Research for two years and its aim is to assess whether exposure
to dexamethasone at an early age has any long-term consequences on
growth, lung function and neurodevelopment in children now aged 11 to 15
years. The postholder will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day
running of the study and carrying out home assessments on children in
England and Wales. Clinical duties include measuring children’s lung
function, height, weight and blood pressure, and administering
vocabulary and reasoning tests. Training will be provided for the
administration of these tests. General administrative tasks include
tracing families through the NHS central register, liaising with general
practitioners and families, ensuring collection of data and data entry.
Candidates should be a qualified nurse, preferably with experience of
working with children. They should show evidence of organisational
skills and be able to take responsibility and prioritise workload. A
current UK driving licence, own car, and willingness to travel are
essential for the position, as is experience of word processing,
particularly Microsoft Word.
For further details, and in order to submit an application, candidates
should obtain a job description from the Unit Secretary, NPEU, Institute
