Profile

I am a Research Fellow and Senior Trial Manager in the CTRU interested in trial methodology and implementation, I am particularly interested in Health behaviour change interventions and retention of participants.

I joined the University of 91ֱ�� in 2013 as a research assistant in the Clinical Trials Research Unit working on the PLEASANT trial and assisting on the Healthlines study. I am currently the trial manager for the Orion project. I have previously been trial manager for the Multiple Symptoms Study 3, the TRICEPS trial, MERIDIAN studies and STOP-OHSS. I am also a co-applicant on the RHABIT methodological project and Stratcare-2.

Prior to joining the University, I worked on a health promotion programme within Rotherham NHS Maternity Service. I have also done voluntary work on a number of weight management programmes, which involved carrying out health assessments and delivering nutrition and lifestyle advice.

I became Lead Trial Manager in 2021, providing support for study management staff including providing advice on implementation and co-ordinating and developing training development and staff inductions. I am also a member of the CTRU Management Group.
