The role
This post is an excellent opportunity for an experienced qualitative researcher with interest in primary care and health services research to work on a large, pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial of practice-level intervention, with an embedded mixed-methods process evaluation. The aim of the trial is to find out whether the Bristol Medication Review (BRISMED) toolkit can improve standards of medicines use compared with usual general practice care. The project, funded by the NIHR Health Service and Delivery Programme, has three core objectives: successful implementation of the BRISMED toolkit in general practices, comparison of clinical effectiveness of the BRISMED toolkit with usual care, alongside an evaluation of the cost implications, and assessment of acceptability to, and experience of, patients and practitioners.
What will you be doing?
The post holder will be responsible for: organising and conducting interviews with up to 22 patients and 22 GPs and Clinical Pharmacists, liaising with 15 sites to organise audio-recording of medication reviews, and developing and administering an online end of study practice-level survey to participating sites. They will also lead on analysing the qualitative data and disseminating findings. The post holder will work independently but also as part of a wider BRISMED team, and under the direction of the Principal Investigator, Dr Deborah McCahon and Qualitative Lead Investigator, Professor Katrina Turner.
You should apply if
You should apply if you are a motivated and enthusiastic individual with a detailed knowledge and understanding of qualitative methodologies and underlying theory, experience of undertaking qualitative data collection, analysis and write-up, and excellent time management, interpersonal and communication skills. The role would particularly suit applicants with experience of working in research in a primary care setting and an interest in medicines optimisation.
