Patrick Julier

OCTRU Head of Programming

I have over 25 years’ experience in the IT industry, working in manufacturing, finance, telecommunications and the public sector before working in Clinical Trials when I joined the Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO) in 2004.

I am OCTRU's Head of Programming and lead a team of 5 programmers/database officers. I joined OCTRU in October 2013 when we had no IT systems to speak of. Since then we have developed 5 systems and installed and support 4 off-the-shelf systems.

We look forward to taking these systems forward and to continue providing a responsive and professional service to all the Clinical Trials Units within the OCTRU family.
