Debbie has over 24 years of clinical research experience working in the roles of administrator, clinical research associate, project manager, trial manager and self-employed consultant.

Her initial experience was gained within the pharmaceutical industry working on large multi-centre Phase II and III CTIMP trials in a variety of therapeutic areas.

In 2016 she joined the department to work on the Support-HF2 trial investigating the use of remote monitoring to manage patients with heart failure and from 2019 she worked on the ATEMPT trial, a pilot study investigating the use of blood pressure-lowering treatment in older patients with multiple chronic diseases, both projects working with Kazem Rahimi . In October 2022 she joined Sally Collins as the trial manager for the OxPLUS study, a observational study to assess the clinical utility of the OxNNet Toolkit for the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes. She also works with Antoniya Georgieva as a project manager for the Oxford Labour Monitoring group.
