Research Assistant PSRC
The Role
Based in the School of Pharmacy, the Newcastle NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaborative (PSRC) is a partnership between three universities (Newcastle, Northumbria, and Queen Mary London) and Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This is an opportunity to join a vibrant team of researchers within the PSRC as a Research Assistant.
Our research themes embrace:
Safer management of polypharmacy in multiple long-term conditions
Research within this theme will seek to understand what intervention works, for who and in what context to enhance safety where multiple medications are in use. We will draw upon lived experiences of patients and consider how their experiences change over time. This will support the development of interventions across different social care, hospice and community settings, providing greater patient safety.
S afer management of multiple long-term conditions in disadvantaged communities
Improving access to healthcare and addressing patient safety behaviour challenges for disadvantaged and marginalised populations will help to reduce inequalities in health and care. We will identify risks, intervention points and actions in various care and community settings. This theme will explore barriers and inequalities in areas such as cancer diagnostic services and unmet care needs in people experiencing homelessness.
This post is fixed term for a period of 6 months. The role is full-time.
