The role is for a Clinical Research Fellow to join an exciting project - DREaMED (Defining, Recognising and Escalating Maternal Early Deterioration): Decreasing inequality through improved outcomes. The project is led jointly by Professors Peter Watkinson (NDCN) and Marian Knight MBE (National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit) and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
The project aims to improve maternal outcomes and decrease inequalities by finding better ways of describing, detecting, and treating women when they become unwell during pregnancy and around giving birth. The project will define new near miss and severe morbidity definitions allowing us to identify electronically when significant events happen. We will then develop a large multi-centre maternity routine dataset for the first time. This will allow us to work out the best vital-sign-based early warning score. It will also allow us to build an electronic maternal early warning score, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to use all the information in the electronic patient record to best identify who is at risk of deterioration. We will then investigate how to use this information to escalate the care of women in need optimally. Finally, in a multi-site study, we will test whether using this system and escalation pathways leads to better outcomes.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, ambitious clinical researcher with expertise in obstetrics/obstetric medicine to play a senior role in delivering this highly clinically important research programme. The role will give you wide exposure to different research methodologies, allowing you to develop a critical understanding of research in this area and will provide a good basis for a future research career. There is a possibility that for a suitable candidate some of the work could contribute towards a higher degree.
The role requires a minimum of 50% FTE and will be flexible around your clinical commitments. The research group are office-based Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the responsibilities and selection criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply.
The post is part time at 50% FTE, for a fixed term of 2 years in the first instance.
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Monday 17th February 2025 will be considered.
Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
