Profile

As a statistician within the CTRU in ScHARR, I am involved in all aspects of clinical trials. I contribute statistical expertise to the development of grant applications and to the planning, conduct, analysis and reporting of randomised controlled trials.

I have experience of working on trials in orthopaedics, surgery, and complex interventions.

Research interests: My research interests include the handling and reporting of missing data in randomised clinical trials, the use of patient reported outcomes and surgical trials methodology.
