We are looking for a clinician (from medical, nursing or AHP background) with a strong interest and experience in population health approaches to help transform healthcare for the future. The Health Inequality Fellow will work closely with clinicians to provide support, training and advice to develop key areas for investigation and use population health data to define their key questions and shape local interventions on the ground. We are therefore looking for candidates with a keen interest in developing their population health competencies to inform key-decision making and improve health outcomes for the population.
PLEASE NOTE: This post will be available on NHS payscale and the medical and dental payscale.
Fellow(s) will be based, for up to three days a week, with the Lewisham Population Health and Care programme team and having prior knowledge of Lewisham’s landscape and its demographics would be a benefit.
