Hours Part time: 0.4FTE - 0.6 FTE Contract type Fixed-term until 31 October 2026 Reporting to Brian MacKenna Vacancy reference BZ24073 - 175555 The role We are recruiting a Clinical Informatician who will be a key part of The Open Analytics Unit, an NHS England-funded project at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford. The Open Analytics Unit is supporting NHS England to deliver interactive tools and services to support delivery of NHS primary care services and medicines to improve patient care, alongside traditional health services research and analysis. You will be working with OpenSAFELY and OpenPrescribing to deliver detailed analysis and interactive services to a range of NHS staff, from the clinical coal face to strategic policy makers in national organisations. You will be responsible for translating clinical knowledge, information and guidelines into analytical software code and ensuring they are open and reusable, for example through OpenCodelists. You will also contribute to the development of new features on OpenCodelists, OpenPrescribing and OpenSAFELY as well as helping to lead a modern open approach to health services research to support our stated aim of bringing NHS data analysis into the 21st century. The Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science is a mixed team of clinicians, software developers, policy experts, and traditional academic researchers, all pooling skills and knowledge. We have a strong track record of delivering high impact research papers in Nature, Lancet and BMJ; but also real-world impact on NHS policy and clinical practice; and high impact data science tools and services such as OpenSAFELY, OpenPrescribing, OpenCodelists and TrialsTracker. Our mission is to create a modern, open, collaborative ecosystem for health research. We do this by shipping code, delivering papers, building capacity, and advocating for new ways of working. We aim to lead by example, and you will work with us on this: recurring tasks are turned into packages and libraries; all code is shared openly for review and re-use with adequate documentation; analyses are delivered in Jupyter notebooks for others to read, evaluate, re-purpose, and learn with. As we deliver high quality research ourselves, we leave a solid template of re-usable tools behind for others to use. This requires close collaboration between researchers, clinicians and software developers, for each to develop a close understanding of each others’ working practices. We want to meet outstanding clinicians who share our vision and have, or can rapidly develop, the skills needed to deliver it with us. You will, of course, need to have familiarity with health service informatics standards such as SNOMED CT and the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices. We have a good record of working with NHS staff to help them develop more robust informatics, software and data science skills: but we are particularly keen to meet candidates who are ready to work in Python, write a clear Jupyter notebook, develop and quality assure a clinical codelist and merge a pull request on GitHub. At the very least, you will need to understand why these methods are important for delivering good, open, efficient, reproducible and high quality health services research, analysis and interactive tools; and be able to work with us bring NHS data analysis into the 21st century. You will report to Brian MacKenna, Director of NHS Service Analytics, Research and Informatics. You can read more about our work and our approach at www.bennett.ox.ac.uk. We are actively seeking to increase our team’s diversity, and so we welcome applications from those in under-represented groups. 2 Responsibilities • • • • • • • • Translate clinical knowledge, information and guidelines into analytical software code. Review, assess and quality assure, in collaboration with the wider team, software code related to clinical topics. For example, developing SNOMED-CT codelists defining clinical conditions and openly sharing them on OpenCodelists. Contribute to research articles for peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and reviews specifically related to clinical informatics. Support development of live interactive tools from health data to inform NHS service delivery at the clinical coalface; document barriers encountered and contribute to creative problem-solving solutions. Carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions, particularly NHS services but also other research groups. Support further dissemination of our work for example by presenting at conferences, delivering seminars or through regular blogging. Work collaboratively with the growing community of OpenPrescribing and OpenSAFELY users inside and outside of the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science to help build an ecosystem of users delivering re-usable clinical code that support a plethora of widely-used interoperable open tools. Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group and the wider health service community on clinical informatics in which you have developed expertise. Selection criteria Essential selection criteria • • • • • • • • • • • Registered healthcare professional. Relevant experience and degree. Demonstrable knowledge of health service informatics standards such as SNOMED-CT and the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices. Strong existing knowledge of routinely collected NHS patient data. Proven knowledge or experience of the NHS and how it delivers services. For example, good domain knowledge on prescribing, pathology testing, clinical practice, and/or how healthcare services are organised and monitored in the UK. Proven excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication, present information clearly, and represent the research group at meetings. Strong commitment to our vision of delivering research and services by delivering modern, open, collaborative computational data science tools for the whole community to use and re-use. Ability to communicate complex clinical information and problems efficiently to other members of a busy team; and iteratively generate creative solutions to barriers. Ability to work collaboratively within a team using shared workspaces and tools. Ability to engage proactively with external health service partners on complex technical issues. Ability to communicate rapidly and effectively within a mixed team. 3 Desirable selection criteria • • • • Previous experience implementing clinical knowledge, information and guidelines into analytical software code. Ability to write analytic code in at least one commonly used language (ideally Python/Pandas/SQL but also R/Stata or other), or very strong evidence that this can be rapidly developed. A strong appreciation of the wider policy context around better use of health data. Strong knowledge, interest, or existing skills around software development. Pre-employment screening Standard checks If you are offered the post, the offer will be subject to standard pre-employment checks. You will be asked to provide: proof of your right-to-work in the UK; proof of your identity; and (if we haven’t done so already) we will contact the referees you have nominated. You will also be asked to complete a health declaration so that you can tell us about any health conditions or disabilities for which you may need us to make appropriate adjustments.

Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports 5 one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care and an MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we opened a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.
