Rebecca Burns

Senior GCP Quality Assurance officer, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Research and Development, Royal Marsden NHS Trust

The emphasis of my role is to ensure quality and compliance in oncology clinical trials to ensure patient safety, wellbeing and protect their rights.

My previous experience involved working as a Clinical Trial Monitor, Research Administrator and within the blood sciences haematology laboratory as a Medical Laboratory Assistant.

I am committed to ensuring quality standards and one of my responsibilities is to develop and present training programmes to colleagues within established sections of the research community.  This involves a large multi-disciplinary team.

My aim and aspiration is to create a firm foundation training programme for first time Chief Investigators overseeing a new clinical trial. I hope my enthusiasm in this topic will help to encourage and support programme attendees. 

I will work alongside Melanie Arultheesan-Mayuran who is experienced in Pharmacovigilance at Royal Marsden NHS Trust.
