About

I have been a Senior Clinical Trials Manager based at Swansea Trials Unit (STU) since 2015. I am responsible for the development, management and completion of research projects ranging from small observational studies to multicentre randomised controlled trials in the NHS. I have experience of working in a wide range of specialties including gastroenterology, diabetes, trauma, dermatology and cancer. Whilst my current role is health services research, previous roles have included dermatology trials in the commercial sector and laboratory-based research at the Welsh Blood Service and Cardiff University.
