Senior Clinical 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 (hypertension trials) and infectious diseases (influenza and urinary tract infections trials). Whilst working here, I was also involved in teaching in the Clinical Trial Module the unit ran.
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. My interest is in clinical trials, specifically looking at exercise and rehabilitation.
