Person Specification
Skills
Essential
- Ability to deliver national, regional, or local health programmes involving digital tools, clinical algorithms or decision-support software (rules-based and/or AI-enabled), working directly with clinicians to embed these into pathways.
- Ability to take health technology products from pilot to commercial scale, including skill in partnership/licensing negotiations, Intellectual Property (IP) arrangements, and navigating regulatory routes to market (e.g. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)/UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) medical device approval).
- Ability to translate national clinical guidance (e.g. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT)) into evidence-based pathways, and to support their adoption to reduce variation in care across a health system.
- Ability to interpret and work effectively with outputs from Structured Query Language (SQL)/Python-based data pipelines, clinical algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled tools (e.g. AI agents supporting administrative tasks or triage of clinical documentation), engaging credibly with technical teams and suppliers on their outputs, limitations, and governance.
- Understanding of evaluation methodology (including logic models, quasi-experimental evaluation techniques, and benefits realisation frameworks) and health economics skills, including health impact modelling and cost-avoidance analysis linked to delaying or preventing progression of long-term conditions (e.g. delayed need for renal replacement therapy).
