Biography

After a period working as a research statistician for Help the Hospices care of the dying project at UCL Community Medicine, Angie Wade joined the then independent Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1990 to provide statistical support for researchers. She developed an extensive teaching program and provided, or contributed to, the advisory service. The Statistical Support Service had been in operation formally since 2000 and she was Director of this from Oct 2011 until April 2014 overseeing a change of operation to full cost-recovery. She has worked as an expert witness within high profile cases of child abuse, is a member of the Wellcome Bloomsbury Centre Policy Group and in 1995 founded a local Statistics Group, comprising all statisticians employed within the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (GOS ICH), which she ran until 2014.  


As well as developing her own team of statistical advisors and teaching fellows, Angie has more recently taken on wider management roles. From 2014-2018, she was Head of the Clinical Epidemiology, Nutrition and Biostatistics Section and since 2018 has been the GOS ICH co-Deputy Director of Education. In the latter role she wrote the 2020-2025 Education Strategy (www.ucl.ac.uk/child-health/study) , and is currently focused on implementation of this. Angie is a member of the GOS ICH Senior Management Team.
