Main Function

To contribute to research and knowledge exchange and support the delivery of an Impact Accelerator Account project. The project is a UK-first initiative bringing brand-new NICE diagnostic guidance for PMOS (formerly PCOS) out of the guidelines and into GP surgeries across England and Wales. The post-holder will: (1) support stakeholder engagement, which will involve coordinating two events, (2) support the co-production of resources, and (3) facilitate data collection (via online surveys). The project will lead to the establishment of an Implementation Network of primary care clinicians, the co-production of resources with patients and charity partners, and the translation of research into real change for the 1 in 8 women affected by this condition. You'll gain broad experience across stakeholder engagement, co-production, event delivery, and impact evaluation while working alongside leading researchers and setting the groundwork for a major follow-on NIHR grant.
