National Patient Safety Agency NHS SAS Application Administrator/Senior Data Analyst £30,000 - £35,000 Ref: 108 We are at the forefront of patient safety encouraging NHS staff to report things that go wrong so that lessons can be learnt and findings shared across the health service. As part of improving patient safety, we develop innovative solutions that can prevent mistakes being repeated. In return for your commitment, we offer excellent opportunities for personal development, flexible working arrangements and a healthy work/life balance. This important role will see you actively developing our ability to monitor, and therefore react to, patient safety incidents. You will do so by creating and maintaining a system that will allow the effective collation, analysis, preparation and reporting of incident data. Providing expert advice, training and support, you will help internal and external users alike benefit fully from the resulting statistics. You will also analyse the data yourself, in order to both monitor emerging trends and support any programmes of action. Having worked with large data sets for at least three years, you will bring a wide range of knowledge of statistical and research techniques to the post. You will have a solid understanding of SAS and other computerised statistical programmes and you will be able to translate often complex data into understandable and accessible reports.
