Summary

Our company provides medical and scientific expertise across key stages of medicinal product development, from early clinical trials to post-marketing safety reporting. Due to ongoing growth and internal progression, SRG are supporting the intake of recent Masters graduates as Trainee Medical Scientists. You will support the development of new medicines and improve understanding of existing ones by reviewing clinical trial data and contributing towards critical recommendations. These activities are key to ensuring that the outputs of clinical research are meaningful and their conclusions sound.

You may also be involved in the review of key documents in the clinical development process, such as narratives for patients with specific safety issues, and study reports or published literature relating to safety issues or value assessments to contribute to signal evaluations and other critical activities.

You will learn from more experienced members of the team, which involves proactively sharing your work with them to invite feedback to help you progress.
