ASSISTANT STATISTICIAN/DATA ANALYST
NHS INFORMATION AUTHORITY, WINCHESTER
Permanent Post
Salary - Admin & Clerical Grade 5 - #14,096 - #17,148
The current NHS priorities of Clinical Governance and Performance Assessment
make information now, more than ever, crucial to the effective running of the
NHS. This is an exciting time to be developing the role of information in NHS
management.
A variety of data are widely available in the NHS, but these tend to be
dispersed and unconnected. The challenge for the NHS is to pull these disparate
sources together to produce a comprehensive view of population needs for care,
current services delivered and the efficiency and effectiveness of the care
provided, spanning populations and care settings.
The Casemix Programme of the NHS Information Authority, a Special Health
Authority of the NHS, is developing an analytical framework and computer
software to help the NHS manage and analyse such data.
We are seeking to appoint a new member to a team of seven analysts and
statisticians, to assist in the production and interpretation of statistical
analyses in the development and implementation of this framework. Analysis will
be of national hospital inpatient datasets (containing 10 million observations
per year recording clinical, administrative and demographic information) and
other datasets relating to both secondary and primary care.
We are looking for a person with good mathematical and analytical ability,
preferably with a degree in Maths, Computing or Statistics or a related diploma.
Familiarity with the Windows environment, the UNIX operating system and SAS
statistical software would also be beneficial, as would experience of the NHS.
For an informal discussion about the post, please telephone Peter Benton,
Analytical and Statistical Services Manager at the Casemix Programme, on 01962
844588.
Where a location is quoted in job advertisements, it states the current location

NHS Information Authority, Pynes Hill, Rydon Lane, EXETER, EX2 5SE.
The closing date is 14th February 2000
