AmyEBHC
Amy is a director of the ThinkWell charity where she leads the PLOT-IT (Public Led Online Trials-Infrastructure and Tools) project. Her institutional affiliation is with the University of Oxford. Her goal is build clear channels to propel evidence into practice by supplying the public, and those in low resource areas, with tools to make evidence-based healthcare choices. Responsible shared decision-making requires access to standardized and accurate shared knowledge. Amy is encouraged and motivated by Evidence-Based Healthcare as the movement builds bridges and education in research between patients, researchers, clinicians, scientists and regulators. An informed, engaged public is a significant source of empowerment.
She and her team plan to engage, train and empower the public to plan, prioritize and take part in all aspects of research including the formation of online randomized controlled trials prioritized by the public and supported through expert methodological input. Her background in international relief work, clinical neurocognitive rehabilitation, service on the boards of multiple patient organizations and as a trauma survivor has equipped her with the flexible mindset to relate to all stakeholders and cultures. Amy’s experience has shown her that shared knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration and evidence-based research is the voice that will develop the future.
