Make a difference; work with us in healthcare research focussed on improving care quality in the NHS
This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi-professional team of experienced and enthusiastic specialists working at a national level. Our work programme delivers high quality guidance that is aimed at improving NHS patient care. The National Clinical Guidelines Centre (NCGC) is a new forward-thinking research centre producing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and quality standards for the NHS in England and Wales. Funded by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), and building on 8 years of success in developing clinical guidelines, the NCGC brings together expertise from the Royal Colleges of General Practitioners, Nursing, Physicians and Surgeons in an innovative partnership.
NICE Clinical Guidelines are NICE’s most frequently accessed products and have an international reputation for excellence. This is an opportunity to make a leading contribution to health economic evaluation in support of NICE clinical guidelines. If appointed you would undertake health economic modelling and critical appraisal of health economic literature. If you were to be appointed as a Senior Health Economist, you would also line-manage and quality-assure another health economist’s work and take a greater lead in methodological development.
You will work with a clinical advisory group, of leading healthcare professionals and patient representatives, to produce recommendations for the NHS. The NCGC is a team of 50 staff, delivering a large work programme (currently 14 clinical guidelines and 2 quality standards are in development). This is a great opportunity to work within an effective team environment with Information Scientists, Health economists, Systematic Reviewers and Project Managers.
Strong interpersonal, presentation and organisational skills are required, with a commitment to maintaining high standards in working to fixed timelines. The role provides opportunities for continuing professional and personal development.
