Clinical Study Manager at ADVITA ORTHO, managing UK trials across 22 NHS sites and securing HRA and REC approvals for four studies.

United Kingdom
Message

At ADVITA ORTHO, I manage UK clinical trial operations across five protocols and 22 NHS sites. I oversee study delivery, site activation, budgets, timelines, and operational risks.

I independently led UK regulatory and ethics approval activities, including drafting IRAS responses and securing HRA and REC approvals for four studies. I’m also supporting start-up of a new pre-market medical-device investigation, including MHRA and IRAS application responses and planning onboarding for 12 additional sites.

I oversee sponsor-side Class III medical-device investigations and post-market clinical follow-up, including ePRO activities. I also conduct site initiation, interim monitoring, and close-out visits, assessing protocol compliance, participant safety, data quality, and site performance.

Earlier at ICON (Accellacare), I coordinated pharmaceutical trial and site-network activities and supported site mobilisation. As a Graduate Trainee, Business Optimisation, I led patient recruitment strategy and achieved a 30% response rate to outreach letters for an end-stage heart failure study.
