The Role


You will focus on investigating and building evidence about how safe, effective, digitally enhanced and integrated care is best designed, delivered and implemented in the post-pandemic NHS.


You will work with stakeholders from local authorities, across primary, secondary and voluntary sector settings and with patient and public groups.

You will be tasked to explore the key challenges that exist at the individual, organisational and system level and work in collaboration with stakeholders and patients and the public to identify the priorities and strategies towards improving and innovating health and social care for patients with MLTCs.

We will be taking a keen focus on working with and improving care for patients who are recognised as experiencing health inequalities.

The research is anticipated to involve mixed methodologies that have patient and public involvement and engagement at their core.

You will join a vibrant team of researchers within the Newcastle NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaboration (PSRC).

This post is an appointment to the 'Safer integrated health and social care environments for patients with multiple long-term conditions' theme.


Research within this theme will focus on:
understanding the behavioural and digital landscape of health and social care delivery
understanding the current evidence for integrated health and social care
using this knowledge and evidence to inform the design, delivery and testing of strategies and interventions to improve the safety and effectiveness of care or patients with MLTCs

This post is full time and is fixed term for a period of 5 years.


Please note the interviews for this post will take place either week commencing 27th March 2023 or week commencing 3rd April 2023.
