Kelly Spike

Clinical Research Nurse for Paediatric IBD

Kelly is a paediatric nurse with a background in neonatal neuroscience research. She is now part of the clinical research nursing team, working with Claire Glemas to facilitate research within the paediatric gastroenterology service. This includes patient recruitment and obtaining informed consent to studies that form part of our portfolio.  
 
Having her own diagnosis of Crohn’s disease means that she has first-hand experience of participating in adult IBD research studies. This perspective of the research experience underpins her own practice in supporting young people and their families. Within the team Kelly also supports with photography and videography.
