Description

Project Rationale:


Opioid utilisation for non-cancer pain and related adverse outcomes have reached epidemic proportions in the US, Canada with rising trends in the UK 1-4.

Opioids have led to a major societal burden in North America; however, less is known about their utilisation in vulnerable subgroups and safety in Europe and the UK.

Some opioid users may be particularly vulnerable to related harms due to specific individual factors such as older age, specific comorbidities and polypharmacy.

Maximising benefits and limiting risks of treatment for such patients is therefore a national public health priority.


Overall purpose of the role:


Based at the CfE, you will work with established primary care EHRs from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) as well as emerging linked secondary and primary care EHRs from Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, a digitally mature NHS hospital with EHRs established since the early 2000's.


What you will get in return:

  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
