Nosocomial Quality

Do you want to play a part in a ground-breaking and rewarding patient safety programme?

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is commencing a complex programme of investigation work into cases of hospital-acquired (nosocomial) Covid-19. The programme will run for 2 years and will combine genetic, epidemiological and infection-control investigations with traditional patient safety techniques, offering you an opportunity to participate in a unique project with a national profile.

All cases where hospital-acquired Covid-19 led to harm will be investigated under the ‘Putting Things Right’ regulations to ensure that bereaved families and affected patients receive compassionate and open responses. The work will help to inform local and national management of Covid-19 and other healthcare-acquired infections in the future.

We’re looking for a motivated and conscientious person to work in this newly-formed team delivering Welsh Government’s Nosocomial Covid-19 Incident Management Framework. You will be working alongside a number of specialist staff from varied clinical and non-clinical backgrounds.

This post is fixed term / secondment for 2 years to meet the needs of the service.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
