Kelly has worked internationally in various fields of nursing for over 30 years.
After taking a Bachelors Degree in Nursing in Canada, Kelly worked in Vancouver,
Canada and Bremen, Germany before moving to the USA to work as a travel nurse,
and later settling and working in Los Angeles, California. From there, Kelly
moved to Europe in 1999 to take a Masters Degree in Nutrition at King's College
London, after which she worked as a research nurse in academia as well as the
NHS. For the last sixteen years, Kelly has led a team of research nurses, first
in Cambridge, and latterly in London, working in the field of clinical research.
Clinfield came about as a result of Kelly's desire to bring greater 'meaning' to
the role of clinical researcher nurse and practitioner. She believes that
developing clinical researchers would benefit patients and the healthcare system
while bringing greater job satisfaction to those drawn to improving care through
research.
