Senior Trial Manager
I joined NDORMS in November 2019 as a Clinical Trial Manager for the HUSH study. Since September 2022 I have moved on to the role of Senior Trial Manager, overseeing the portfolio of studies in the Oxford Trauma and Emergency Care group. I provide ongoing management and guidance to trials at all stages, assisting the trial managers and clinical teams as needed.
Previous to working in this department I have worked as a clinical trial manager in the Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit in Oxford (2014-2019) running various trials in cardiovascular diseases and infectious diseases.
My background is in exercise therapy for people with neurological disorders with my PhD looking at exercise as a treatment for people with Parkinson’s. I have a strong interest in clinical trials, specifically looking at exercise and rehabilitation.
