Staff Profile

Before joining the Newcastle Clinical Trials Unit, I worked as a Clinical Trial Coordinator in Paediatric Oncology at the Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle and also as a Data Manager at the Newcastle University Clinical Research Facility and Clinical Ageing Research Unit.

I previously worked in public health, covering cancer symptom awareness and GP social prescribing initiatives, and also spent several years researching cardiovascular development and genetics at the Institute of Genetic Medicine, Newcastle University.
