Clinical Trials Manager & Epidemiologist
Medical researcher with a keen interest in improving outcomes in orthopaedics, and formerly maternal health and cancer survival
An accomplished Clinical Trial Manager in the Surgical Interventions Trials Unit (SITU) managing the GEKO trial, and previously the PICBone study and NEON trial. I have won awards for my research presentations at conferences. I am also an engaging and skilled lecturer in epidemiology and statistics who has supervised Masters’ and PhD students. I am also a gifted and instinctive workplace coach and facilitator.
I recently won the University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor's award for improving research culture in NDORMS, Oxford and the UK (2024) and the Unsung hero for Impact for Postdoc Careers Award (2023) for my long-running advocacy for Research Staff. I used to Chair the Oxford Research Staff Society (OxRSS) and the UK Research Staff Association (UKRSA) To find out more about me and my voluntary work please see here.
By training I am an epidemiologist with proficiency in data acquisition, validation, cleaning, and analysis of large datasets using STATA.
In the past, I was Research Manager for the international Capture the Fracture project, conducted epidemiological analyses of the reorganisation of major trauma centres on the outcomes following open fractures, conducted hip fracture research, the impact of surgery on initial traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations, regional variations in prescribing bisphosphonates to hip fracture patients, childhood leukaemia and brain tumours, local reviews of maternal health incidents, and adult cancer survival and ‘cure.’
I have been Principal Investigator for two research grants, published many peer-reviewed journal articles, presented research findings at a large number of national and international conferences. I was also a part-time Researcher Developer at the University of Oxford, providing support and advice on policy, strategy, and representation.
