An exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of the Public health and multimorbidity theme within NIHR South London ARC. The research is exploring ways of reducing harm from tobacco in people who use local health services. The postholder will work within the Nicotine Research Group, Addictions Department on the Denmark Hill Campus. They will provide research assistance for the evaluation of tobacco dependence treatment delivered in hospital and community settings. The evaluation involves a clinical audit of electronic health records and a series of qualitative studies to explore the experience of tobacco dependence treatment from the patient and clinician perspective.
The postholder will be responsible for recruiting patients with long term health conditions and clinicians working across King’s Health Partners, conducting interviews (remotely whilst social distancing measures are in place), extracting data from electronic health care records, assisting with the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, writing for publication and dissemination.
