The listing
Our Vision
uMed seeks to be a cornerstone of the efforts to reduce the burden of disease for patients by radically reducing the barriers to knowledge creation.
Our Culture
We are a group of trusting and inclusive individuals, who encourage, are creative and want to make a difference in the world. We do not take ourselves too seriously and we love to tell a story. We innovate, work hard and take risks but at the forefront is a joint mission to be part of groundbreaking research to ultimately advance and develop science to support those most in need.
What we do
The process of conducting clinical research is incredibly expensive and time consuming, limiting our efforts to find answers to the world’s most important medical challenges. uMed is a clinical research network fit for the 21st century, underpinned by cutting edge technology that connects patients, electronic health data and research groups across the world. Our rapidly growing network covers 90 GP sites in the UK representing over 2,000,000 patients with our first US healthcare system joining us this year bringing a further 5M patients. uMed was founded by an NHS doctor, supported by a world class board and backed by London and US based venture capital.
uMed is hiring a Site Activation Manager on a 6-month contract to set up and manage the NHS Clinical Research Facility (CRF) sites for AccessBrainHealth, our neurodegenerative disease cohort. The sites are already identified. Sites are only required to facilitate bio-sample collection and clinical assessments - uMed manages the identification and recruitment.
This role gets sites open and keeps them running.
