Lauren Exell
Lauren began working in administration in 2014, where she worked as a Medical Secretary for the NHS. She developed an interest in clinical academia and after four years with the NHS joined the University of Oxford as a Personal Assistant. During this time Lauren’s role and responsibilities expanded providing administrative support to one of the largest academic groups within the Division of Medical Sciences in addition to coordinating the well-established National Institute of Health trauma trials research conference.
Lauren was thrilled to take on a new role at Queen Mary University of London as an Executive Assistant to the newly established Bone & Joint Health clinical academic group led by Professor Xavier Griffin in 2021.
Lauren thoroughly enjoys supporting academics and senior members of staff, and whilst working for Bone & Joint Health she has assisted with the preparation and organisation of multiple projects, as well as overseeing the group's social media outputs, public engagement, and departmental finances. Lauren is passionate about patient and public engagement and the benefits of working with the public in developing research. Outside of work, Lauren enjoys running and has taken part in many events across England. She has also played for various football teams, including Oxford City ladies.
We hope you will join us in welcoming Lauren to her new role.
