Agnieszka (Aggy) Plachecka

Since April 2019, I have worked as the Research Facility Operations Coordinator within the Clinical Cardiovascular Research Facility (CCRF), ensuring the efficient, compliant day-to-day operation of a busy clinical research environment.

I manage the CCRF patient scheduling system, including study setup, user access, staff training, system support, and troubleshooting. I prepare quarterly financial reports, coordinate procurement and supplier contracts, oversee international shipments, and provide administrative support to Research Fellows, including database management and study administration.

I deliver staff inductions, support clinical induction programmes, manage the shared CCRF email account and blood sample storage database, and act as a key point of contact for patients, visitors, collaborators, and external sponsors.

I coordinate VIP visits and student placements, develop study documentation and research materials (including CRFs, worksheets, labels, and participant information), and work closely with the multidisciplinary team to resolve operational issues, improve processes, and support the successful delivery of clinical research.
