Research Fellow:
Overview of the Role:
We wish to recruit a Research Fellow to manage and work on a new project called Impact of an Intervention on Inequalities in Overprescribing - the 3i-o study.
The project is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research through its Health and Social Care Delivery Research programme.
The project aims to evaluate the impact, implementation and sustainability of audit and feedback on health inequalities in prescribing in general practice.
The Research Fellow will play a vital role in this research project aimed at understanding clinician and patient perspectives on optimising prescribing in general practice.
The project seeks to explore beliefs regarding ethical, economic, and clinical challenges and benefits associated with reducing prescribing, particularly focusing on clinicians' everyday practices and the specific needs of their practice populations.
The Researcher, with support from the Work Package lead and another Research Fellow, will employ semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observations utilising the Listening Method to gather insights into clinician and patient perceptions and behaviours related to prescribing, patient demographics, available services, and contextual factors affecting prescribing decisions.
You will join an enthusiastic interdisciplinary research team led by Dr Sarah Alderson, Associate Professor of primary care.You will be responsible, under supervision of senior team members, for the qualitative research aspects of the work package including data collection, analysis, reporting interim findings back to the reference group, and report writing.
