Biography
I am currently a Senior Trial Manager at the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU), supporting the development and delivery of the Unit's portfolio of high quality randomised controlled trials. I oversee the management of a range of national and international trials, from conception to completion, providing specialist trial management advice to Chief Investigators and multidisciplinary trial teams.
I have previously worked as a Project Manager in the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre (2019-2022) and as a Trial Manager at the NCTU (2022-2025), where I managed all aspects of trial development, from set-up and ethics application, site opening and participant recruitment, to close-out and publication of results.
