Mr Richard Evans
Professional Services
- Senior Manager of the Clinical Trials Unit
My background is in trial management specialising in UK-based multicentre trials. I have worked in research for over 20 years, originally working on at Imperial College and for the past 13 years at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
I work closely wth Professor Tim Clayton and the Cardiovascular Group in the LSHTM Clinical Trials Unit. In recent years we have delivered landmark trials such as REVIVED, ERIC-PPCI, ERICCA, AIMS, REPAIR and PREVENTT. Currently we are working on ARREST, BHF PROTECT-TAVI, CHIP-BCIS3 and Tight K.
My interests are in all the operational aspects of clinical trials, from methodology, design feasibility, ethics and incorporating PPI. I have a particular interest in cardiovascular trials but have experience and interest in a number of other settings.
