Improving Prevention of Vascular Disease in Primary Care
(IMPROVE)
Vascular disease which includes stroke, diabetes, kidney
disease and heart disease affects approximately 4 million people in the
UK and accounts for one in five hospital admissions. Recent Department
of Health policy has seen the introduction of a preventative programme
of vascular checks for people aged between the ages of 40-74 years with
the aim of reducing vascular disease morbidity and mortality through a
higher uptake of primary prevention interventions including statins,
exercise and smoking cessation. Within the new services there is
considerable uncertainty about skill mix. The DH proposes a number of
differing pathways for vascular services including roles for healthcare
assistants, pharmacists, GPs and practice nurses across similarly varied
settings. The skill mix will impact on delivery, training and
professional accreditation which in turn will feed into the cost
effectiveness of these services given studies have shown changes in
skill mix to have cost implications associated not only with differences
in salary and training costs but also with more indirect costs such as
failed appointments. Indeed to maximise the health benefits for new
health programmes there is a need to determine the most cost effective
mix of staff through enhancing the skills of current staff or the
introduction of new types of worker. The aim of this study is to explore
the cost effectiveness of substitution (skill mix) in health care. The
PhD study forms part of the CLAHRC programme focussed on improving
services for people with chronic conditions and on addressing
unwarranted variations in treatment and health outcomes. The study will
link with research being carried out by the Leeds, York and Bradford
Research Alliance in improving prevention of vascular disease in primary
care.
Two application forms (Institute and University) must be completed
and can be found on our website

Closing date for applications: July 31st 2009

The position is jointly financed
by the Health Economics Research Programme in Oslo HERO
http://www.hero.uio.no/eng.html and Centre of Equality, Social
Organization and Performance ESOP http://www.esop.uio.no/. HERO is
financed by The Research Council of Norway and has its foundation in

Excellence funded by the The Research Council of Norway with the aim
of exploring the links between equality, social organization and
economic performance, both in rich and poor countries.
The post-doctoral fellowship is within the academic areas of
Economics that are covered by HERO and ESOP.
The position is for a fixed term of 4 years.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
The Department of Economics is
one of the largest environments of economic research in Norway and
has approximately 70 employees. The Department has approximately 700
programme students, about half of whom in graduate studies. The
Department offers a Bachelor’s programme, a two-year Master’s
programme and a five-year Master’s programme in Economics, and a
two-year Master’s programme in Environmental and Development
Economics. The Department also has a doctoral programme in which
approximately 40 candidates are enrolled.
