Do you want to apply the latest data science methods and analytic techniques to system-wide integrated data to understand variations in the quality and safety of health care? Do you want to answer pressing research questions concerning sources of inequality in patient safety for marginalised groups? Do you want to develop patient safety intelligence solutions to support policy-makers and providers as they shape future healthcare systems? If so, this studentship opportunity will appeal to you.

The NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Research Collaborative (PSRC) is inviting applications for a full-time PhD studentship, to start in 2024, as part of its interdisciplinary Safety Intelligence work stream. The studentship aims to enhance patient safety intelligence in healthcare, specifically concerning insight into inequities in patient safety across sociodemographic and marginalised groups, including the development of new data analytic and visualisation tools that harness the power of large-scale integrated datasets. The studentship will appeal to candidates from a range of backgrounds with specific interests in healthcare data science and quantitative health services research.
