Biography
I am an MRC Senior Non-Clinical Fellow and Professor working in Methodological Research related to participant centred trials.
My research interests focus on the design and delivery of participant centred trials: from point of initial contact through to feeding back results to individuals. I lead research in the application of behavioural science to trials methodology. For example, framing problems of recruitment and retention as behaviours and exploring the opportunities to improve these aspects through the design of participant centred, theoretically informed, interventions. This work is multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder and involves using mixed methods approaches to develop, evaluate and implement interventions to support decision making in this context. To find out more about specific project please click on the 'Research' tab at the top of the page. My research has been supported by various funders.
I also lead the mixed-methods process evaluations in many of our trials to improve both the experience for potential participants and the overall efficiency of the trial. Work in this area is ongoing across the portfolio of CHaRT trials.

Current Research
Methodological research related to RCTs
Behavioural approaches to trials methods
I lead several projects (or work packages within projects) that have applied behavioural science to understand key trial problems such as recruitment and retention. These include:
- What are the key challenges and opportunities for mounting a trial of prehospital REBOA? A behavioural diagnosis to inform a definitive evaluation (PPRO_Behave)
- Systematic Techniques to Enhance Retention in RCTs: The STEER Project
- Behavioural approaches to explore factors that affect questionnaire return in the CGALL trial. The figure below illustrates the overarching themes related to questionnaire return with the relevant TDF domains mapped against each theme.
I also supervise PhD candidates in this area as lead academic supervisor or lead methods expert:
- Behavioural interventions to improve clinical trial recruitment and retention
- Recruiter experience of recruiting pregnant women to clinical trials (The ENCOUNTER Study)
Other recently completed or ongoing trials methods projects that I lead
- Development of a core outcome set for the EvaLuation of Interventions for informed Consent for randomIsed controlled Trials: The ELICIT Study. ELICIT, the first methodological core outcome set, was developed to identify what outcomes should be considered in evaluations of interventions that aim to improve decisions about participation in a clinical trial. The photo above was taken at the final consensus meeting which was held in Aberdeen in February 2020 and brought together a range of stakeholders to help build agreement on the most important outcomes. Full paper here
- PRioRITY II: Prioritising Retention in Randomised Trials – I led a multi-stakeholder James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership to identify the Top 10 unanswered questions for methods research on trial retention. Full paper here.
- Strategies to improve retention in randomised trials. I led the recent collaborative update of this Cochrane review.
- RECAP: Feedback matters: How should trial results be reported back to participants? The RECAP project has generated participant-centred, evidence-based recommendations for trialists to implement the dissemination of results to trial participants. The findings from RECAP are informing the Health Research Authority’s update to dissemination of trial results guidance.
Process evaluations within ongoing RCTs
- REGAL: Recurrence of Endometriosis: A randomised controlled trial of clinical and cost-effectiveness of Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone Analogues with add-back hormone replacement therapy. Started recruitment in 2021.
- REINFORCE: A Real-World, In-Situ, Evaluation Of The Introduction And Scale-Up Of Robot-Assisted Surgical Services In The NHS: Evaluating Its Impact On Clinical And Service Delivery, Effectiveness And Cost. Started recruitment in 2023.
- PARTIAL: A randomised trial of the clinical and cost effectiveness of PARTIAL vs radical nephrectomy for clinically localised renal cell carcinoma. Started recruitment in 2023.
Recently completed
- C-GALL - A randomised controlled trial comparing the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with observation/conservative management for preventing recurrent symptoms and complications in adults with uncomplicated symptomatic gallstones. Methodological research projects that I lead linked to this trial include:
- UK REBOA: A randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) for trauma. Process evaluation applying a behavioural approach to improve recruitment to the trial through identification of barriers and implementation of behavioural solutions.
