Senior Statistician, National Patient Safety Agency
Circa £55,000 plus benefits.
The NPSA is a Special Health Authority created in July 2001 to co-ordinate
the efforts of the entire country to report, and more importantly to learn
from mistakes and problems that affect patient safety.
As well as making sure errors are reported in the first place, the NPSA is
trying to promote an open and fair culture in the NHS, encouraging all
healthcare staff to report incidents without undue fear of personal
reprimand. It will then collect reports from throughout the country and
initiate preventative measures, so that the whole country can learn from
each case, and patient safety throughout the NHS can be improved.
The Senior Statistician will lead a team of statisticians and analysts
developing the NPSA's ability to analyse and aggregate summaries of data
collected on patient safety incidents and will deputise for the Head of
Knowledge and Information Management as required.
The analysis of information is likely to attract considerable public and
political attention and so to take on this fascinating role, experience of
working in a high profile field is essential. You may not have worked in
the NHS, but you will need experience of working with colleagues in health
organisations in the UK or overseas. Not only will you have first class
technical skills, but also first class interpersonal skills, able to
influence, negotiate and deliver exceptional results through others who may
not be in a line management relationship.
The NPSA is based in the West End of London, within easy reach of all
mainline stations. It is an organisation that is enthusiastic and keen to
make a difference. For more information about the NPSA, visit the website:
