About the role
We are seeking a clinician to join the National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit (NOGCA). The audit evaluates the processes of care and outcomes for people diagnosed with oesophago-gastric (OG) cancer and treated in NHS hospitals within England and Wales. The audit strives to raise standards across all NHS hospitals for people with OG cancer by highlighting where cancer care is good, and identifying areas for improvement.
You will work in a vibrant audit and research environment, putting you at the heart of a national team that plays a key role in improving the care that people with OG cancer receive in England and Wales. You will be working in partnership with senior clinicians, representing relevant clinical communities and professional organisations in England and Wales, and senior statisticians and methodologists based at LSHTM.
You will support the development of the Audit, undertake data analysis into the determinants of variation in practice and outcomes, develop methods for quality assessment, and evaluate the impact of quality improvement initiatives. The results will be disseminated in reports as well as other outputs including conference presentations. The role will provide you with opportunities to contribute to high-profile peer-reviewed papers, which could lead to obtaining a higher degree (MD or PhD). The research will aim to strengthen the relevance and robustness of the Audit’s outputs. This work will also benefit from the expertise available in the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), an internationally renowned centre for health services research and clinical epidemiology.
