Senior Trial Manager
I have worked in the NMAHP Research unit at Glasgow Caledonian University since 2007 as a Senior Trial Manager/Researcher. I have a degree in Pharmacology (Glasgow University) and a PhD in pharmaceutics and novel imaging techniques (University of Strathclyde). I have over 15 years’ experience in managing both drug and non-drug trials in a breadth of disciplines including rheumatology, cardiology, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and in women’s health. My trial operation expertise has been enhanced by sitting on one of the West of Scotland research ethics Committees and being an executive member of the UK Trial Managers Network. Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) has been at the forefront of my clinical trials work since 2007 and in 2018, I set up NMAHP’s PPI group. I am currently the PPI lead at GCU. I am also a keen Trial methodologist and collaborate in many projects to increase evidence on recruitment and retention best practice in health research. I am currently leading on a project to determine the effect of people's preference and mode of data collection on trial retention.
I am currently involved in a portfolio of trials including being Chief Investigator of a pilot study assessing the feasibility of abdominal massage for the treatment of constipation in people with learning disabilities.
