My current role involves coordinating the Research Excellence Framework (REF) submission.
My previous roles within the University of Southampton and the NHS at Southampton General Hospital (SGH) have enabled me to gain valuable experience in multiple fields relating to Medicine, Cancer Sciences and Health Sciences.
I have worked in the Osteoporosis Centre at SGH generating DXA scans for both inpatients and outpatients. I then worked in the Cancer Sciences Tissue Bank collecting, processing and preparing blood and tissue samples for research. I was a Clinical Trial Coordinator working on a large multicentre drug trial for Alcoholic Hepatitis at various hospitals around the UK.
