PhD Student at Imperial College Clinical Trial Unit ✨ Interested in decentralised clinical trials

Do you ever get to a point in your PhD when you can repeatedly type your topic area without a spelling error? It sometimes feels like I spend more time accepting spelling errors of 'decentralised' than anything else (including in the this)

If you have a few minutes today to fill this in, or to share it with your friends, family, or wider network, it would be really appreciated. I’ve worked with 2 public involvement groups to design this survey, and together we are keen to influence how tech is used to collect data in clinical trials.

💬Got 5 mins? Help improve clinical trials by sharing your thoughts on health data collection. @anniestats.bsky.social a PhD researcher at Imperial has designed this survey with the help of her public involvement groups. 🔗 imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #PPI #HealthEquity #ResearchVoices

Got the green light from the ethics committee today to launch my patient and public survey! 🎉 I’m excited to drive forward this important public involvement work as part of my PhD on DCTs. I’ll be exploring patient and public preferences for using technology to collect data in clinical trials.

Day 2 of the NIHR Stats conference! Today I’ll be facilitating a breakout session with Jack Elkes, Marie Miller and Francesco Lala from @imperialctu.bsky.social This session was born out of our survey of barriers and facilitators in RCTs of digital health interventions (and a love of board games)!

Attending NIHR stats conference this week @nihr.bsky.social? Don’t miss @anniestats.bsky.social , Leila Janani x.com/LeilaJTF, Jack Elkes, Marie Miller, and Francesco Lala, who will be presenting these exciting topics:

Thank you!! Great to share the insights on the trials identified in my review and how there’s so much variation in how we can conducted decentralised trials. I hope this can encourage researchers to think about how decentralisation may have a place in their trials!

@anniestats.bsky.social gave a great talk on decentralised trials. Main message from PhD review work is there isn't a one size fits all approach. Trial design may need to be contextually determined and responsive to population needs #SCT2025

First ever conference presentation done! I have had a great time at The Society for Clinical Trials 46th Annual Meeting and presenting was the cherry on the top. Excited to share more of my research as my PhD progresses 💫 Now to take some time to explore Vancouver

I couldn’t sleep at all last night 1. Jet lag 2. I was worried the font in my presentation would mess up all my slides and all I could think (and dream) about was changing it when I got up

I couldn’t agree more. After serving as a juror on a high-profile case two years ago, the experience had a significant impact on my mental health. I sought out counselling through the NHS at the time, but even now, I still feel the effects of having sat on that jury. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jury service: Calls for more juror support after traumatising trials

Lee Thompson was diagnosed with PTSD after sitting on the jury of a murder trial.

With the first year of my PhD nearly over (time flies!), I had my Early Stage Assessment today! It was great to discuss my research so far and future plans. My assessors asked great questions that I look forward to reflecting on. Overall, far less daunting than I expected and an amazing milestone!

First public involvement group meeting today! I was terrified beforehand but we had some great group discussions on different ways of collecting data in clinical trials 📊👩🏼‍💻👏🏻
