Interview expected to take place

Are you looking for an exciting new challenge and support to develop your skills in research programme management? Are you interested in making care safer for patients. Do you want to manage an exciting and high profile research programme?

We are excited to offer this opportunity to work on a 60 month programme of research funded by NIHR and entitled 'Single and Safe Intervention for MEDication administration (SaSI-MEDs): The development and evaluation of an intervention to de-implement unnecessary double-checking of medicines.

The overall aim of this programme is to determine if reducing double-checking of medicines reduces costs without increasing patient harm. The programme of work involves understanding double-checking practice, co-designing an intervention based on behaviour change theory, piloting and testing the feasibility of the intervention and then running a cRCT to establish if stopping double-checking of medicines in hospitals is non-inferior in terms of medication administration errors and patient harm and is superior in terms of reducing nursing costs and delays in medication administration.

This post is key in achieving this aim by organising and planning delivery of the six work-packages that make up this programme of work.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will take a lead role in delivering this 60 month programme of work for the Yorkshire Quality and Safety Research Group, in collaboration with research groups across our partner Universities and NHS Trusts, including:

Planning, developing and delivering this research programme and supporting the translation of findings into outputs and practice.

Communicate complex information and achieving agreements across the academic and clinical institutions in the region.

Working with the academic lead for each of the work-packages and other co-Investigators, co-ordinating the work of the research team to deliver the programme to time.

Ensuring effective governance of the programme of work.

There will also be opportunities for writing for publication, working with lay members of the team and developing your own career as a leader in research.

About us

This post will be based within the Yorkshire Quality and Safety Research (YQSR) Group. The YQSR has an established record of collaboration and multidisciplinary working to address key, clinically relevant questions in patient safety. It is a collaborative, solution focused and enthusiastic team, led by Rebecca Lawton, Professor in Psychology of Healthcare, which includes social and safety scientists, clinical academics, research nurses and data specialists. Supported by patient panels and lay leaders and with extensive collaborations with the Universities of Bradford, Leeds and York, we conduct high quality applied health research to make care safer. Strong links with policy, regulatory, patient and clinical networks mean that we have established pathways to impact for the research that we engage in. The Quality and Safety Research Unit is housed within a bespoke research institute (BIHR) and, being located on the Bradford Royal Infirmary site, has real and lasting research relationships with both local and national clinicians with easy transport links to elsewhere in the region.

Our People Charter outlines the behaviours we can expect from one another and what you can expect from Bradford Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust:

We value people We are one team We care

We're keen to meet people who share these values and are passionate about delivering the highest quality of care to our patients.
