Job description
Do you want a job where you can make a real difference to people’s lives?
EMS Healthcare are the UK’s largest mobile clinical research partner, and we have supported over 50 NHS Trusts, Health Boards and private providers in delivering mobile capacity across the healthcare landscape.
Working at EMS Healthcare is varied and rewarding, and every project we are part of has one thing in common, it’s about improving health outcomes for everyone.
From a partner in the delivery of the GRAIL NHS-Galleri trial - the world’s largest trial of a blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer - to providing clinical teams with additional capacity whenever and wherever they need it. We work alongside a wide spectrum of healthcare partners and our dedicated teams are committed to making a difference to people’s lives.
