About

I graduated in 2006 with BSc Psychology from London Metropolitan University. I have since worked in NHS in a non-clinical capacity directly with patients and healthcare professionals. Whilst working at the Heart Hospital I got interested in research and moved on to work as NHS Research Ethics Committee coordinator between 2009 and 2010. In addition to my responsibilities of providing advisory service to the researchers before and after the application was submitted, I also took part in the training events on how to make a successful ethics application at the Imperial College London.Between 2010 and 2016 I worked as a project manager for the two national clinical audit projects (the audit of heart attacks - MINAP & the audit of percutaneous coronary interventions) and TAVI (trans-catheter aortic valve intervention) registry. My expertise is in the project management of the complex, publicly funded projects, quality assurance and quality improvement initiatives in healthcare, publication of the process and outcomes measures. I have also worked with a group of patients to develop the audit's first patient summary of the audit findings to raise the audit's and it findings' profile as well as to facilitate patient and public engagement with their local services through the audit feedback on their hospital's performance and reported improvements or areas of improvements over time.My research interests build on her work as the clinical audit project manager around the management of acute coronary syndrome, equal access not only to care but also a good quality of care (i.e. to drive variations in care down), emergency and critical care in the cardiovascular area, patient and public involvement in research and the design of their local healthcare services
