PHP-HSRP The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is a worldleading centre for research and postgraduate education in public and global health.

We are seeking to appoint two
researchers to work on an exciting national evaluation of the new NHS Pharmacy First programme in England, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research.

Pharmacy First incorporates and extends the previous Community Pharmacist Consultation Service and enables community pharmacists to manage seven common infections following specific clinical pathways.

Pharmacists can support self-care, supply over the counter medicines and prescribe prescription-only medicines via Patient Group Directives (PGDs).

The evaluation will look at the acceptability, safety, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and impact on antibiotic resistance of the programme. The study will be carried out in collaboration with key groups, including patients, service providers, and policymakers.

You will have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic; have experience in designing, implementing, analysing and writing up the findings of qualitative and/or applied policy research, and the ability to work independently, as well as collaboratively with the wider research team.

Quantitative research and/or mixed-methods research experience is desirable.

The posts are full-time, 35 hours per week, 1.0 FTE and fixed term until 31 January 2027. The posts are available from 1 June 2024.

Interviews are expected to take place in April.

Please note that if you are shortlisted and are unable to attend on the interview date it may not be possible to offer you an alternative date.
