Kathryn Janes: Research Manager

I work in delivery across all services and research governance. Research governance is a very important part of the research process as we need to ensure that all research adheres to regulations and are suitable to run within NSFT.

I also oversee our REACH referral system which is a centralised database of people that have expressed an interest in research - I really like this part of my role and enjoy speaking to service users and carers about potential research opportunities they can get involved with.

I thoroughly enjoy working in the research department as no two days are the same. What I enjoy the most is working with study teams and clinical teams to find out what research opportunities we can bring to NSFT for our service users, carers and staff!
