The current model of trial delivery in the UK, fails to take advantage of the excellent participant identification capacity, and experienced staff base in Primary Care. Orizzonte seeks to build a true collaboration with the NHS which will ensure that clinical trials are offered to a representative demographic of the UK population, giving these patients access to the opportunities inherent in research participation. Additionally, a fair collaborative agreement with NHS organisations will ensure that they receive the financial benefit of engaging in research at a time when budgets are stretched, and the development benefits for staff supporting the Orizzonte Team. With a proven background in ensuring the compliance and quality clinical research sites, my role is to build a team with an ethos of constant improvement, ensuring the ongoing collection of high quality data. My experience as Senior Information Risk Officer, allows me to build and ensure the highest standards of data governance and security.Orizzonte Clinical Research is an organisation formed by staff from Primary and Secondary Care. We seek to add value to the current NHS research offer, while enabling new NHS organisations and staff to take part in supporting clinical research. Show less
