My experience
I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 20 years, as a commercial transaction lawyer, a business development and strategic planning director, an innovative projects director in marketing and in a global research policy group covering clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, patient data and other aspects of bioethics relevant to the discovery and development of new medicines.
More recently I have worked in the NHS on projects aimed at better healthcare delivery, including use of health data and the use of AI to assist decisions in healthcare management.
