Clinical Trials Manager
Orthopaedic trauma
I have been a trials manager with Oxford Trauma and Emergency Care for nine years, working on trials such as these:
REACH is a study on rehabilitation strategies in patients with shoulder fractures.
In the FAME trial we are looking at the best treatment for unstable ankle fractures in adults aged up to 60 years old: surgical treatment or non-surgical treatment with close contact casting.
In UKSTAR we wanted to know whether patients with Achilles tendon ruptures treated non-surgically have a better outcome depending on whether they were immobilised in a plaster cast or an orthopaedic brace (walking boot).
I’m now part-time, and I am assigned temporarily to assist other trials as needed.
