About David Cannan

I have extensive experience in clinical research working in different capacities as a both a Clinical Trial Coordinator and Study Monitor in my current role as CRAII at DOCS and at the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre.I have independently coordinated and provided valuable support for various academic oncology trials. I have had exposure to a wide variety of documentation, processes and training required for the coordination and management of multi-centre Phase I, II & Clinical Trials. I have also had over four years of on-site monitoring experience for national and international sites. My role as Study Monitor also includes providing monitoring training to junior colleagues.I consider my background of a Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Science and over nine years of laboratory experience on top of the skills I have acquired in my current role to provide a excellent foundation to any role in clinical research. I was fortunate to attend a comprehensive Project Management course in early 2017 which provided me with greater insight to managing large projects such as a clinical trial.Some other skills and qualities that I have currently and previously demonstrated include;* Coordinating multiple trials from start up to close out across a variety of collaboarive groups and tumour streams.* A sound knowledge of GCP practices and the ability to prepare and update trial documentation in accordance with SOP’s;* Excellent planning, organisation, coordination and time-management skills;* Communicating effectively with key stakeholders, in a professional manner at all times.* Proficiency in a variety of electronic data systems and all facets of data management including data system development, the collection, cleaning and reporting of trial data as well as preparing final data sets for analyses.
