This is an exciting opportunity to work on an NIHR funded study with a clinical academic team to develop and evaluate a dementia communication skills training course for healthcare practitioners working in the acute hospital.  The VOICE2 study uses conversation analysis to identify communication practices used by healthcare practitioners caring for people living with dementia who are in hospital, to avoid or resolve episodes of distress and challenging behaviour.  We have recently completed the first phase of the study (the conversation analysis), and are now developing a dementia communication skills training course based on our findings, and a ‘train the trainers’ course.  We will train clinical educators from hospital trusts to be VOICE2 trainers and evaluate both the ‘train the trainers’ course and the VOICE2 courses the clinical educators deliver in their own trusts.

The person appointed to this role will be expected to plan and conduct the evaluation of the training courses. The evaluation will use a mixed methods case study approach.  Data will come from observations, interviews, questionnaires and routinely collected hospital data.  The appointed person will help develop the VOICE2 courses and evaluate them. They will be responsible for writing up their work for publication. 

The person appointed will have the opportunity to use their initiative and creativity to identify areas for research, develop research methods and extend their research portfolio. 

A relevant PhD (or near to completion) is essential.
