RRIO Study Manager

I am Study Manager for the Centre for Rehabilitation Research in Oxford (RRIO), a group I have been part of for over 10 years.

I manage the MMoST trial (Maximising Mobility and Strength Training) which aims to find out if older people who take extra protein by having a protein drink, as well as joining an exercise programme, experience better walking outcomes and have a better quality of life. I also manage the Oxford Pain, Activity and Lifestyle (OPAL) study, a large cohort study which aims to improve the primary care management of low back pain in older people. 

Prior to this I managed the GRRAND-F trial (Getting Recovery Right After Neck Dissection) as maternity cover. The GRRAND-F trial aimed to assess the feasibility of a physiotherapy intervention for patients following neck dissection surgery for head and neck cancer. 

Before coming to Oxford in 2014, I worked for the NIHR Clinical Research Network as a Senior Research Officer, facilitating the set-up and delivery of studies in primary care.

I have a background in health psychology and a particular interest in behavioural interventions.
