Boyds, a pharma and biopharma product development consultancy with offices in Cheshire, Cambridgeshire and Dublin, has named Kathryn Bartley as senior clinical research associate. The appointment follows last year’s acquisition of Blue Duck Consultancy, which expanded Boyds’ in-house clinical and medical affairs services offering.
Bartley has more than 18 years of experience in the industry, primarily in study and site management and monitoring. Her work has covered a variety of therapy areas across all trial phases within both the commercial and academic sectors.
Most recently, Bartley spent six years working for GlaxoSmithKline (subcontracted from Parexel and then PPD) as a senior clinical research associate working primarily on real world evidence respiratory studies, including the ground-breaking Salford Lung Studies (SLS). Bartley’s experience also includes working as a remote clinical research associate on oncology trials at AstraZeneca, as well as four years as a study manager at the University of Liverpool Cancer Research UK Trials Unit setting up and managing hematological oncology studies.
Commenting on her appointment, Bartley said, “Boyds is a fast-growing company with a strong reputation in the industry. I am excited to be part of their growth ambitions to expand their clinical services team. I am looking forward to working with and learning from the fantastic team of experts at Boyds, as well as building on my knowledge in advanced therapies.”
Bartley will be based in Boyds’ Crewe office, and her role will involve performing all aspects of site set-up and management including pre-study, initiation, monitoring and closeout visits; stand-alone ethics submissions, feasibility studies, medical writing and training.
