Profile

My main responsibility is for the management of the ORION trial. This is a pragmatic multicentre randomisation-controlled trial to assess whether radiofrequency ablation (using the Rafaelo® device) is at least as good as existing methods for the surgical treatment of haemorrhoids. ORION is funded by the National Institute of Health Research, Health Technology Assessment grants (NIHR131861).

My academic interest is the implementation of evidence-based medicine into clinical practice.

Previously, I managed a multi-centre quality improvement and implementation study, funded by NHS England, to transform the delivery of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) care in the UK. I addition, the study hosted the first cohort Multiple Randomised Controlled Trial (or 'Trials within Cohorts') platform, with a focus on behaviour change interventions. As part of the implementation of CFHealthHub into CF care, I helped design and delivered quality improvement workshops to NHS staff. Within the project I designed and conducted a mixed-methods process evaluation, to understand barriers and facilitators to behaviour change in clinical settings.

Prior to joining CTRU, I was a Research Assistant for Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. During this time I conducted National Institute of Health Research Portfolio projects across a range of adult mental health conditions.
