The National Respiratory Audit Programme (NRAP), formerly known as National Asthma and COPD Audit Programme (NACAP), is a high profile national clinical audit that is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) on behalf of NHS England and the Welsh Government.

The NRAP provides a source of national data, capturing information required by regulatory bodies and service commissioners, and also provides a tool to support quality improvement and drive better patient outcomes.

The aims of the work are to deliver a continuous prospective clinical audit of the management and outcomes of respiratory patients across primary care, secondary care and pulmonary rehabilitation.

NACAP began collecting patient data in 2017 and with almost half a million records, is now the largest, best known respiratory audit in the world.

This opportunity will offer the successful applicant a unique insight into the running and maintenance of a national clinical audit as well as the opportunity to network with key players across respiratory care in the UK.

This is an honorary post for up to 12 months and is open to clinical staff; including nurses and allied health professionals, senior doctors in training, and early years consultants/specialist doctors; and data analysts and coders who work in an NHS setting.

You should be early in your career with experience and enthusiasm for supporting improvement work and ongoing practical involvement in the delivery of respiratory care.

You will work collaboratively with the Data analysis lead and all other relevant workstreams (Adult Asthma, COPD, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or Children and young people (CYP)) team to further develop your skills in data analysis and an understanding of the development and management of national audits, improvement initiatives, report writing, and the workstream's contributions to the wider NRAP at the RCP.

This is a voluntary role and will not impact on your training/clinical responsibilities.

Further details on the position are outlined in the Job Description and Person Specification
