Personal profile

Biography

Professor Jackie Campbell is an academic hybrid, initially qualifying as a physicist before working as a researcher into the processes of pain and pain relief at the Walton Hospital in Liverpool, which also confirmed her belief in multi-disciplinary working.  She has worked in the healthcare sector of higher education since 1987 and is currently the part-time Professor of Neurophysiology at the University of Northampton and Chair of the Regional Advisory Board of the NIHR East Midlands Research Design Service. She is a chartered statistician and also runs her own statistical and research consultancy business. She has considerable experience in the design, management and data analysis of research and evaluation projects, particularly in the public and voluntary sectors. She has served as the statistician member of an NHS Research Ethics Committee and teaches statistics and research methods to doctoral level.  She is a reviewer for many major funding bodies and academic journals, including membership of the statistical review panel for The Lancet group.
