Academic GP Advanced Fellow

About the Role

In partnership with North East London Integrated Care Board, QMUL is launching a brand new training programme, recruiting GP Fellows to work a hybrid role, both in practice and in academia. The programme aims to train GP Fellows in health data science, research methods, and the clinical effectiveness approach, to develop them into future leaders delivering clinical improvements in primary care across North East London.

The post will be split 50:50 in clinical practice and academia. Successful applicants will be matched to a practice in Barking & Dagenham or Havering and enter into a separate contract with their practice for their clinical time. This is a single recruitment process and applicants will not need to apply to practices separately. In academia, we have created a training programme on healthcare data and improvement methodologies, and there are opportunities to address individual learning needs. Successful applicants will be able to choose improvement or research projects and the programme will also provide regular supervision and peer support.

About You

We are looking for talented and motivated clinicians who are passionate about general practice, health care data, health inequalities and quality improvement. The ideal candidate will be interested in developing experience in improvement methodologies, including independently delivering end-to-end projects and working with multiple stakeholders.

About the Institute & Centre

The Wolfson Institute of Population Health (WIPH) is an exciting and dynamic environment, home to 450 staff, 100 PhD students and 500 postgraduate taught students. It harnesses expertise across a wide range of population-based research and education activities and is an internationally recognised centre of excellence in population health, primary care and preventive medicine.  The Institute is organised into six research centres which, though complementary and following the Institute’s strategic plan, also have Centre-specific objectives and requirements.

The postholder will be based in the Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) in the Centre for Primary Care. The CEG carries out research to improve population health, reduce health inequalities, and innovate, develop, and deliver quality improvement programmes using electronic health records from primary care, acute care and other settings.
