Abstract

Aim To offer a novel, four-point conceptual model that encapsulates the Clinical Research Nurse’s intrinsic value, active leadership, and direct contribution to high quality, person-centered, safe care, addressing current misperceptions of research nursing. Methods This paper describes the provision of ‘care’, safely delivered by the Clinical Research Nurse through a four-point conceptual model and case-driven example. Discussion Clinical research nursing is conceptualized within the domains of Care and Trust, Role, Impact, and Integration. The case example demonstrates real-world application of these domains and the expertise required to balance the complexities of clinical needs and research demands in a healthcare environment. Conclusions This paper offers a mechanism for understanding the importance of the Clinical Research Nurse and their role in maintaining safety and a high-level view of the care arena. These reflections are considered with an international application for the role.
