About us:

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) is a professional membership association dedicated to improving women’s health care across the world. We do this by setting standards for clinical practice, providing doctors with training and lifelong learning, and working with partners to advocate for women’s health and health care across their life course.

About the role:

Funded by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), the National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (NMPA) is a national audit that evaluates the quality of care received by women and newborns cared for by hospital services in England, Wales and Scotland. Part of the Centre for Quality Improvement and Audit and based at the RCOG, the NMPA is supported by a number of partners including Royal Colleges, Universities and public bodies. Its aim is to assess the organisation of maternity services as well as to provide timely, high quality data that compares the care provided and outcomes achieved by providers of maternity care across a range of audit measures.

 

This is an exciting opportunity to develop a career in the growing field of health informatics and information technology and contribute to high quality clinical audit and quality improvement projects in women and girls’ health care, to improve outcomes, influence policy and drive positive change across the globe.
