Sharon Westcar

Senior Clinical Research Operations Manager leading research delivery and workforce development in women’s and reproductive health at the University of Oxford.

As Senior Clinical Research Operations Manager in the Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health, I lead a team of nurses, midwives and research staff who deliver a wide range of clinical studies aimed at improving women’s health and wellbeing.
My role involves making sure research is carried out safely, efficiently and to a high standard, while supporting staff to develop their skills and confidence in research.

I work closely with hospital and university teams to ensure that research is part of everyday care, helping to translate new discoveries into better outcomes for patients. I am passionate about creating opportunities for nurses and midwives to take leading roles in research and about making participation in research open and accessible to everyone.
