On a weekly basis, I do many semi-structured interviews, which are my favorite part of the job. Screening participants is allowing me to learn more about them and their difficulties and although clinical trials involve strict rules and procedures, the interviews give me the freedom to ask questions that help us tailor the services we provide to the individual. Since Plymouth is a small city, many of our participants hear about us through word of mouth and I am determined to offer participants an amazing customer experience so their recommendation can reach others that may need our services.Another part of my role involves cold-calling a high volume of leads to discuss their interest in clinical trials as well as conducting pre-screening assessments and guiding them through the process. I increased enrolment rate by implementing a virtual assessment used during the pre-screening calls to accurately assess suitability for trials, and matching participants to the appropriate studies. Using Zoho CRM has been really helpful to schedule calls and follow-ups with participant leads, monitor lead status and maintain accurate records.I also coordinate a tech-based study and established great rapport with the sponsor company by exceeding recruitment targets, taking the initiative to gather feedback and offering recommendations to make the app more user friendly. As a result of the quality of work conducted, I have developed a great working relationship with the COO of the sponsor company, which has also led to a 2-year contract extension with our company.

I have co-facilitated groups that focused on compassion and resilience in the face of mental health difficulties. During these sessions, I tactfully handled any issues that arose within the group dynamics. I enjoyed building rapport with patients as it helped to identify their concerns and discussed with the team during multidisciplinary meetings how we can best support them through a patient-centred approach. Undertook in-depth literature review to help research burnout within the unit, to ensure an evidence-based approach when developing practices aimed at maintaining harmonious team dynamics.

While volunteering in an in-patient unit, I co-facilitated rehabilitation groups that focused on reintegrating patients back into the community. I was able to build a strong rapport with the patients by actively listening to their concerns whilst also managing their expectations of the life outside the unit. I used the information from the patient database to analyse the patients’ history and identify the factors that could impede their recovery to gain a better understanding of the challenges they may be facing when they are released.
