Biography

Jayne started working life training to be a Registered General Nurse, at Nottingham School of Nursing. Post qualification she specialised in cardiothoracic intensive care nursing in the regional heart unit for the East Midlands in Leicester. Later she studied at Kings College London, for a BSc in Biology, specialising in Ecology and then at Leicester University for an MSc in Museum Studies specializing in DNA recovery from old biological specimens.

Serendipity in 1997 gave Jayne the opportunity to get involved in medical research, first collecting data from GP practices for a trial investigating guideline formats in angina and asthma (Department of General Practice, Leicester University) and a community study on depression in the elderly (Department of Epidemiology, Leicester University). During this time Jayne gained experience in systematic reviewing which led to a post in 1999 as systematic reviewer on a project investigating Chlamydia trachomatis (Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Aberdeen University).

After her very enjoyable stint in Scotland, Jayne joined Birmingham University in February 2001 to join the West Midlands Health Technology Assessment Collaboration (WMHTAC) based in the Department of Public Health . The first four years were spent working on reviews for customers such as NICE and the Department of Health, before becoming a reviewer and analyst for ARIF, where she undertook rapid literature assessments for customers within West Midlands PCTs.

In December 2010 Jayne became the Team Leader for the CRCTU Systematic Reviews Team within the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences working on reviews to support the trials. Recently, she has been PI on two RfPB NIHR grants, the first reviewing treatments for children with brain tumours, the second conducting a review of reviews on treatments to help patients who have had head and neck cancer treatment who have been left with treatment sequelae. 

Jayne is now working as an Honorary Senior Research Fellow.

Teaching

Previously tutor on the CASPb and a module co-ordinator on the MPH (HTA). Currently Jayne supports undergraduate and postgraduate students wanting to undertake systematic reviews.
