ABOUT CHRISTOPHER MILLWARD
As an experienced healthcare professional, clinical academic, business owner and clinical trials specialist, I bring a unique blend of expertise in medical research, regulatory affairs, and operational leadership. My career has been dedicated to ensuring the highest standards in clinical trials and patient-focused healthcare.1. Current Research & Consultancy (Millward Medical Services)I provide specialist consultancy in Core Outcome Sets (COS) and Evidence Synthesis.I am currently a Co-Applicant on Project COMPASS (an NIHR Team Science Award). Our team was awarded £100k to produce a systematic evidence map of the applied methods used to develop and implement Core Outcome Sets—effectively writing the \"missing manual\" for the research sector.I see this challenge daily with clients. Researchers don\'t just want a rigid template; they want to know the research base behind their methodological decisions. I help them produce methodologically sound research for the development of COS.2. Clinical & Academic Foundation My expertise is built on over a decade in the healthcare sector, primarily as a Neurosurgery Trainee at The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust. This clinical frontline experience ensures that my research methodology is always grounded in patient reality.Academic Impact: I have extensive experience across various study types, with over 85 publications in peer-reviewed journals and over citations.Education: I hold a PhD in Surgery and Oncology (University of Liverpool), where I developed Core Outcome Sets for Intracranial Meningioma. This is supported by a medical degree from Barts and The London, an MSc in Genomics (Edinburgh), and a BSc in Neuroscience (Edinburgh).3. Operational & Regulatory LeadershipManaging Director, Millward Medical Holdings: I oversee strategy and operations for this new Care Sector Hold Co, focusing on high standards of care and robust governance.Core Competencies:Clinical Trial Methodology & COS DevelopmentEvidence Synthesis & Systematic ReviewsRegulatory Compliance (MHRA experience)Scientific Writing & Mentorship
