Do you want to be part of a diverse, supportive, and inclusive team, leading the way in patient safety research?

The University of Manchester has been awarded funding to establish the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration (PSRC). Our PSRC will be one of six new collaborations nationally and will, with our university partners in Leicester and Nottingham, address strategic patient safety challenges by developing and testing innovations, approaches, and interventions to improve patient safety. Working in partnership with patients, carers, health and care professionals, the GM PSRC will focus on the following innovative research themes:

  • Improving Medication Safety
  • Enhancing Cultures of Safety
  • Developing Safer Health and Care Systems
  • Preventing Suicide and Self-harm

We are a friendly, multi-disciplinary team, with expertise including behavioural science, social research, health services research, epidemiology, health economics, safety science, digital patient safety solutions, health informatics, intervention development and evaluation.

The Manchester Centre for Health Economics and NIHR GM Patient Safety Research Collaboration seeks a Research Fellow. The post-holder will be responsible to Professor Rachel Elliot but you will also work with NIHR PSRC Research Theme Leads to deliver patient safety research programmes, and with Katherine Payne to contribute to a developing programme of work around the economics of delivering a pharmacogenetic panel test into the NHS. You will be based in the Manchester Centre for Health Economics.

Job Purpose

You will be primarily based in the Manchester Centre for Health Economics (http://research.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/healtheconomics). The successful applicant will join a growing team of leading health economists undertaking research on the supply, organisation, valuation and evaluation of healthcare. They will be expected to make a full contribution to the development of this team and the Greater Manchester PSRC.

You will take a core role in the delivery of a portfolio of projects within the PSRC theme, along with collaborating across themes and with patients, members of the public, NHS staff and other stakeholders, including NIHR research organisations and industry partners.

Across all themes and projects, critical to the role will be engaging with patients, clinicians and other stakeholders to optimise study design, data collection, and the impact of your findings. There will be a cross-theme focus on inequalities in safety and all research staff will come together to support this research agenda. All researchers are expected to actively engage with PSRC operations, and our vibrant research culture and will benefit from the opportunity for career development as part of our research capacity development programme. Post-holders will also be eligible to become NIHR Academy members and have access to additional training and development opportunities.

Interview dates will be the 26th & 27th April 2023
