For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. 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, 4 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 undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. 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 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 a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School. The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine and holds an Athena SWAN Silver award at institutional level. The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences holds a departmental Gold Athena SWAN award (awarded in March 2023 and the first Gold in the University of Oxford) to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences currently holds a Gold National Union of Students (NUS) Green Impact award. Green Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme championed by the National Union of Students and is designed to support environmentally and socially sustainable practice. The department supports sustainability initiatives in the following areas: supporting and leading change; energy; water; materials and waste; sustainable travel; biodiversity and nature; and food. 5 In order to create a positive culture, the department has created a set of values that we all aspire to demonstrate in the way we work and behave. These can be viewed here Our staff are mostly located in the superbly renovated Grade II listed Radcliffe Primary Care Building on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ), the University’s most prestigious development site for a generation, and close to the city centre (see http://www.ox.ac.uk/roq/ for more information). Some staff are located nearby in the Gibson Building at the ROQ and some, including clinical teachers are based in Eagle House nearby off Walton Street. Car parking is very restricted at both sites with only a small percentage of staff being granted an annual parking permit and priority being given to those with access needs. Bus Pass, Train Pass, bicycle loans and Season Ticket Loan Schemes are all in operation for staff.

We are the largest academic division in the University of Oxford. World-leading programmes, housed in state-of-the-art facilities cover the full range of scientific endeavour from the molecule to the population. With our NHS partners we also foster the highest possible standards in patient care. For more information please visit: http://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/ The Bennett Institute This is an opportunity to help deliver life-saving research and better open science, as a core part of national NHS infrastructure, and to expand the use of our tools beyond healthcare. We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELY Service. 6 How to apply Applications are made through our online recruitment portal.
