PANORAMIC Trial
Senior Trial Manager
I joined the Primary Care CTU as a Senior Trial Manager in June 2022, predominantly to work on the PANORAMIC study. PANORAMIC is an adaptive platform trial aimed at finding early treatments for COVID-19 by evaluating new antiviral treatments in the community, reducing hospital admissions and easing the burden on the healthcare system. https://www.panoramictrial.org/
During my 17+ years at University of Oxford, I have worked in several different trials units as part of trial management teams, mainly focussing on multicentre CTIMPs across a variety of disciplines. In April 2020, I started working on COVID trials and gained a large amount of knowledge of setting up trials quickly, electronically and under the pressure of a pandemic.
I am a member of the Athena Swan committee representing the CTU, and I am also a proud LGBT+ Ally.
