I chair the ISRCTN registry, the UK's primary registry in the World Health Organization's  System of clinical trial registries.

Before retiring from the  Civil Service in 2011, I worked for 10 years to help build the British systems that support health and social care research, including the National Institute for Health Research and the Health Research Authority.

I am a member of the Audit and Risk Committee of the HRA, and of its Confidentiality Advisory Group.

See my profile at www.linkedin.com/in/cmarctaylor for details of my earlier experience in public service. I am also on the boards of the UK Research Integrity Office and of MySight York.

I am a British and French citizen.
