My Clinical Trial Supply career began 25 years ago working on manufacturing floor responsible for overseeing primary and secondary clinical packaging operations such as bottling, encapsulation, blistering, walleting / carding of blistering, packaging, labelling of patient kits. I then spent 6 years working as Project Manager overseeing the client study design requirements with responsibility of creation of Master Batch Documentation, Batch Specific Packaging Specification and Distribution / Depot Instructions. In the Project Management role it was a great opportunity to work alongside the sponsors, CRO and internal departments such as Operations, Procurement and Quality departments. The last 12+ years I have used my experience and knowledge to offer consultation and advice to clients on process and identify best strategies for their study. For the last 5 years I have been fortunate to work at such a wonderful company that is BMclinical, in the services we provide we can quickly and clearly offer a efficiency. I look forward to meeting everyone at Barcelona.
