Biography
Katie joined the unit in April 2007 as the Trial Manager for CATHETER. Before this she graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science in 2001 and gained a PhD in Biochemistry in 2006 from the Univeristy of Dundee.
Since joining the Unit Katie has gained an MSc in Health Services and Public Health Research from the University of Aberdeen. Katie was awarded a CSO Postdoctoral Fellowship in November 2009. This fellowship will use a formal mixed methods approach to explore clinicians' and patients' perspectives about the acceptability and usefulness of trial participation decision aids.

Research Interests
Katie is interested in how people make decisions in relation to treatment and participation in clinical research. She is particulariy interested in developing, evaluating and implementing, interventions to promote shared decision making within these contexts. Katie is also more widely interested in mixed methods methodology, specifically in the processes surrounding the 'mixing' of data. Links to Katie's recent projects can be seen below;
