What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-safety or pharmacovigilance role where I can lead regulatory reporting, mentor teams, improve processes, and ensure high-quality safety compliance.

I am an experienced patient safety and pharmacovigilance professional with a BSc (Hons) in Medical Biochemistry and over two decades working across industry-leading pharmaceutical companies. I have progressed from clinical safety and data roles to senior safety specialist and currently Manager, Patient Safety, overseeing due diligence and regulatory submissions.

In my current role I lead due diligence activities, perform SUSAR and DSUR submissions via MHRA/IRAS, support vendor compliance and reconciliations, and deliver adverse event training to new starters and vendors. I consistently review HA and legislative updates to keep teams informed and maintain high-quality case handling through QC activities.

My career includes roles at Bristol Myers-Squibb, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Ipsen and Covance, where I handled AE data entry, medDRA coding, mailbox monitoring, follow-up coordination and database reconciliations. I have been a key contact for complex case types, trained new starters, and contributed to process improvements and MHRA inspection projects.

I bring strong attention to detail, excellent communication skills, vendor management experience, and a track record of meeting tight regulatory deadlines. I am committed to maintaining patient safety standards and improving pharmacovigilance workflows through practical problem-solving and team development.
