She conducted her PhD on the care experiences and supportive care needs of young adults with cancer. She also conducted similar work focusing on the development and use of patient-reported outcomes in cancer research and routine care and is currently the Publications Editor of the EORTC Quality of Life Group. She moved from the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust where she was a trial manager in a new team implementing a system for digitally collecting patient-reported outcomes in clinical trials.
