Key Responsibilities

· Co-director Norwich Research and Clinical Trials Unit.  This new seven-bedded trials unit was built within the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital at the end of last year.  As a unit it is in its infancy but is beginning to attract research investment and has already demonstrated the ability to recruit and manage study patients.

· Deputy lead, Unit 12 (The Mind) MB BS course.  This final year unit covers the undergraduate psychiatric curriculum.  My responsibilities are to organise the lecture and seminar provision within the university and to organise the assessment of the “Student Selected Study” component of this unit.

 

· Training Location Co-ordinator, Higher Specialist Training in Public Health, UEA.  My responsibilities include organising and attracting suitable Public Health trainees to work at UEA.  I am a member of the Public Health Regional Training Committee.  This role has also involved successful applications to gain an academic rotation including public health second foundation year (F2).  Our first F2 doctor will commence with us in August 2006.  In addition, colleagues and I have successfully bid for Walport Academic Fellowships (one every other year) and for Walport Clinical Lectureships (one every other year).  We are about to advertise for our first Academic Fellowship.

· Course organiser for M212 (Public Health) 20012003.  I organised this module in collaboration with Peter Brambleby (DPH, Norwich PCT).  During this time we re-developed the module, extending it from a 10-credit to a 20-credit MSc module.

· Course organiser for M201 (Research Methods) 1999 – 2002.  I organised this compulsory module for three years from my arrival at UEA.  It was well received by students and the generally high quality of assignments was often acknowledged by external examiners.  In collaboration with colleagues we then developed three new research modules to further improve the quality of research training within the MSc in Health Sciences.  This broke the original module down into a basic broad research module (covering both quantitative and qualitative methods) and two in depth “further” modules in quantitative and qualitative research.

 

· Management responsibilities.  I have successfully managed a team of up to four research associates, plus secretarial support working on the HOMER trial and the HeartMed trial.  One of this team now co-ordinates my substance misuse research, alongside a further researcher.  I have gained extensive experience appointing and managing staff and am responsible for a number of project budgets.  As co-director of the Norwich Clinical Trials Unit I also manage two NHS staff: a database manager and a part-time nurse manager, and I am now familiar with the Agenda for Change process.

 

· Member of the UEA School of  Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy Promotions committee 2005 –

 

· Member of the 1st year Undergraduate Medical course exam board, 2002

· I was a member of the Faculty of Public Health’s Trainee Members’ Committee (formerly the Specialist Registrar Committee) from 1998 to 2003.  I was elected as vice-chair of this committee in 2000 and then Chair (2002-3).  I played an active role in the Faculty’s Education & Training Committee from 1999 to 2002 and was a member of the Faculty Board (2002-3).  Key initiatives during my chairmanship involved: conducting a national training audit; work towards a national trainees’ conference; and continuing to work closely to re-develop both the Part I and Part II MFPH exams.
