The School of Medicine is looking to recruit an experienced programme coordinator to manage a developing research strand in the medical school.
The National Institute of Health Research have issued guidance that states that public involvement is an essential part of the research process; their published standards state that the main purpose of PPI is “to improve the quality and consistency of public involvement in research”. Major grant funders expect PPI to be embedded in proposed projects from application stage, often having a PPI member as a co-applicant, to final sharing of results and findings.
The School currently has a group of 21 members of their PPI Group via Fife Community Advisory Council (FCAC). This is an area of growth and development and the successful candidate will manage the Group and its development, activity and delivery. Building and maintaining relationships is a key strength required for this role. As well as managing volunteer participation, the individual will work with Principal Investigators to recruit members for their panels and projects and will regularly liaise with other departments and stakeholders.
FCAC works within a published Scottish framework and follows guidance issued by the National Institute for Health & Care Research and NHS Fife.
