Our Heath practice provides analytical and research services for organisations across the life sciences and healthcare industries. Our team brings together clinicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, health economists, bioinformaticians and health data scientists alongside our established actuarial, analytics and technology teams to deliver new solutions to the fundamental challenges in health.
Our team’s mission is to help move health systems from importers of illness to exporters of health and to support our clients to deliver value to patients. We have already developed a track record for leading approaches to real world evidence generation, drug safety, health economic modelling, evidence strategy and market access. We have been growing the team quickly in response to the demand we are seeing for the service offerings we have developed and are now looking for a Real World Evidence (RWE) Associate Consultant to join our team of experts and strengthen our capabilities in this area.
