Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is a Special Health Authority within the NHS,
responsible for optimising the supply of blood, organs, plasma and tissues and
raising the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of blood and transplant
services. A vacancy has arisen for a Statistician I in the Statistics and
Clinical Audit Service of NHS Blood and Transplant, to be based at
NHSBT’s offices in north
The
Statistics and Clinical Audit service of NHSBT is responsible for the design
and analysis of studies in organ and tissue donation and transplantation, blood
donation and transfusion medicine. Following a merger between Statistics and
Clinical Audit and NHSBTs Clinical Studies Unit, the service will shortly
assume responsibility for the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials
in these areas. A clinical audit programme, designed to continuously improve
the quality of care provided to donors and recipients of organs and blood
components, is also undertaken.
This
post gives an opportunity for recent or potential graduates from a Masters
programme in statistics, or an undergraduate programme with a substantial
statistical component, to join a large team of statisticians and become
involved in a wide range of statistical activities. The post will involve
collaborative work with clinicians and others working in organ transplantation,
blood donation and transfusion medicine and so the individual appointed will
have excellent communication skills. The ability to work to deadlines, both
individually and as part of a team, is essential and some knowledge of the SAS
software is desirable.
