NHS Hounslow is one of the 31 London Primary Care Trusts. The objective of
NHS Hounslow is to raise the quality and access to healthcare for Hounslow
in order to improve health outcomes. It has to constantly identify where
developments need to occur, how much resource needs to be assigned to that
task and predict the outcomes of the interventions.
For these reasons NHS Hounslow (www.hounslowpct.nhs.uk) is engaging in a
Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme with the Health and Social Care
Modelling Group (HSCMG: www.healthcareinformatics.org.uk) of the School of
Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Westminster
(www.westminster.ac.uk). The HSCMG is an interdisciplinary group
(clinicians, operational researchers, statisticians, and information
technologists) with research focus on developing models and decision support
tools to compare, contrast, evaluate, plan and optimise healthcare services.
This partnership seeks to recruit TWO highly qualified graduates for two
years to develop and embed systems, tools and techniques which manipulate
data currently stored in silos that will identify bottlenecks and service
pressures. It will provide a strong evidence base for senior decision makers
(across several public sector organisations in Hounslow) to prioritise and
predict outcomes more accurately. In conclusion, it will reduce the
financial risks of service changes by providing more robust estimates of
likely outcomes.
As a successful candidate, you will have with a good first degree in a
quantitative or computing subject preferably complemented by a good
post-graduate degree in a relevant subject. You will be rewarded in this
opportunity by working with a growing and stimulating team and by a good
base salary. In addition, you will have a significant training budget,
mentorship with an expert in the field, access to University facilities, and
the opportunity to register for a higher degree.
