Theme Management

The role of the Theme Manager is to coordinate and manage the activities and resources within that theme and the theme's interactions with CLAHRC as a whole, including partner NHS Trusts. This includes: developing and managing research projects and service evaluations, managing the budget and human resources, providing progress reports and contributing to publications, organising and participating in the marketing of the theme and CLAHRC, and developing research awareness and capacity in NHS Trusts in LNR.

	Phil Shelton - Prevention Theme Manager I completed a PhD in molecular biology at Leicester University in 1997 and then spent 13 years as a drug discovery research scientist and project manager at AstraZeneca. This gave me a wealth of experience covering disease areas and project/team management skills which I have brought into my new role with CLAHRC.
	Bill O'Leary - Early Detection Theme Manager I am the theme manager for Early Detection and my responsibilities include supporting the writing of protocols, developing and supporting studies and budget management. I also work with colleagues to promote the work of NIHR CLAHRC-LNR to healthcare professionals and members of the public.

My background is in Accident &Emergency and Intensive Care. I gained research experience whilst working for a Contract Research Organisation conducting phase I and II clinical trials, and more recently as a Research Governance Manager at one of the large teaching hospitals in the East Midlands. This has given me a wealth of experience to meet the combined demands of my posts.
	Pamela de Chazal - Rehabilitation Theme Manager I have many years' experience of managing postgraduate medical education centres in large teaching hospitals in London and Leicester. I completed a Master's degree in Information Science and gained research experience at Loughborough University.
