Marloes speaks about how her experience of Trial Management in her PhD sparked her interest in clinical trials, and how she has progressed in her role to now be a Senior Trial Manager at Oxford Trauma and Emergency Care. #ICTD2026

My interest in clinical trials began during my PhD, where I managed a clinical trial involving people with Parkinsons. That experience resulted in me wanting to build my career in clinical trials.
After completing my PhD, I started working as a Trial Administrator in Primary Care before progressing to Trial Manager roles across a range of Primary Care studies. I later moved into Trauma and Emergency Care, where I have been working as a Senior Trial Manager for the past few years. -Marloes, Senior Trial Manager at the Kadoorie Institute of Trauma, Emergency & Critical Care

A 5-year-old boy falls off a climbing frame and lands on his wrist. Should you reduce the fracture - or simply put it in a nice cast and let it remodel? Until now, people might have had strong views about this, but no-one really knew. 👇
