Hi, I am Howard and I am the Data Manager on the DOMINO-DFU study. I started working at the Leeds Clinical Trials Research Unit in 2010 and have held a variety of roles within the trial and data management teams. I am responsible for ensuring that we have efficient data collection and storage processes in place for the study to enable the statisticians to perform the data analysis. Outside of work I enjoy/endure following Leeds United and play cricket (badly) for my local team.

We’ve had a great start to 2022 with 41 participants registered to the full cohort and 21 in the Phase 1 high risk cohort in the first 6 weeks of the year- well done Leeds Teaching Hospitals !!
