Job Summary
The Dr Foster Unit, led by Prof Paul Aylin and Prof Alex Bottle, focuses on health services research using routine databases and electronic health records to investigate variations in the quality and safety of care and to evaluate policy. Projects cover a wide range of diseases and specialties, such as primary care, cardiology, emergency medicine and orthopaedics.
Duties and responsibilities
The post is funded by NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) to investigate the quality of care for people with a periprosthetic femoral fracture, an increasingly common problem that can follow a hip or knee replacement.
The project team, led by Alex Bottle, professor of medical statistics, is multidisciplinary, including surgeons, allied health professionals, and social scientists.
You will help to develop the quantitative methodology for the project and analyse relevant databases, particularly the National Joint Registry and the National Hip Fracture Audit.
In addition, you will be expected to submit publications to journals, prepare study reports and present the findings to others. These fractures are a hot topic internationally, with ample scope for publication, and you will also gain valuable research experience in the analysis of different databases.
