Cushla Cooper

Senior Trial Manager

I am a registered comprehensive nurse, originally from New Zealand. I have a wealth of experience in both trauma and elective theatres. I have worked in research in NDORMS since 2006, starting off as a Research Nurse for the Carr Group. Currently I am the Research Portfolio Manager in the Surgical Intervention Trials Unit (SITU), covering the Orthopaedics and Plastics teams. My role is varied and involves contributing to and supporting grant applications and funded projects. I gained a Masters in Science (Evidence Based Healthcare) from the University of Oxford in 2014.
