Description:

Circa £30,000 per annum
This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi-professional team of experienced and enthusiastic specialists working at a national level. Our work programme delivers high quality guidance that is aimed at improving NHS patient care. The National Clinical Guideline Centre (NCGC) is a forward-thinking research centre producing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and quality standards for the NHS in England and Wales. Funded by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), and building on 10 years of success in developing clinical guidelines, the NCGC brings together expertise from the Royal Colleges of General Practitioners, Nursing, Physicians and Surgeons in an innovative partnership.
Clinical Guidelines are NICE's most frequently accessed products and have an international reputation for excellence. This is an opportunity to make a leading contribution to health economic evaluation in support of NICE clinical guidelines. If appointed you would undertake health economic modelling and critical appraisal of health economic literature. If you were to be appointed as a senior health economist, you would also line-manage and quality-assure another health economist's work and take a greater lead in methodological development.
On each project you will work with a guideline development group, comprised of leading healthcare professionals and patient representatives, to produce recommendations for the NHS. The NCGC is a team of about 70 staff, delivering a large work programme (currently we are working on 23 clinical guidelines / quality standards). This is a great opportunity to work within an effective team environment with information scientists, health economists, systematic reviewers and project manager.
