Health Economics Input: NPSA
Location: UK
Closing date: 5 January 2006
The NPSA is a Special Health Authority responsible for improving patient safety in health care organisations providing NHS-funded care in England and Wales. It works with health bodies to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of patient safety solutions. The Department of Epidemiology and Research is building an evidence base in patient safety through a database of incidents and other sources.
We are inviting proposals for input from academic departments or other health economists to work collaboratively with the NPSA to further the patient safety agenda. Expertise in patient safety, health services evaluation and/or modelling would be preferred. Input may be on a part time or consultancy basis, with an annual budget of around 25-35k for two years in the first instance, funded by the NPSA, starting early in 2006.
Further details of the input required and how to apply are given in a tender specification document on our website.
For an informal discussion, please contact Tanya Huehns, Head of R&D at: Tanya.huehns@npsa.nhs.uk or Richard Thomson, Director of Epidemiology and Research at Richard.thomson@npsa.nhs.uk.
