What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to transition into clinical research as a Clinical Research Associate Trainee, building formal clinical-trial monitoring expertise in clinical trial operations, site management or oncology clinical research within a pharmaceutical or CRO environment.

At University Hospitals of Southampton NHS Trust, I coordinate patient pathways across admission, procedure, recovery and discharge, while monitoring patients receiving conscious sedation. I support people undergoing endoscopic investigations and treatment, including when cancer is suspected or confirmed.

I maintain electronic patient records and work within clinical governance, safety and quality-assurance processes, contributing to JAG standards. I'm currently completing ICH E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice training through NIHR Learn as I work toward clinical research and trial monitoring.
