Part-Time: 28.8 Hours per Week (0.8 WTE)

12-month Fixed Term Contract/Secondment

Band 7 (£52,845 - £61,466)

Edinburgh/Glasgow - Hybrid working will apply for the foreseeable future

We are seeking to appoint a motivated individual to the Healthcare Improvement Scotland Right Decision Service (RDS) team with extensive experience and expertise in evidence searching and summarising. You will play a key role in Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s evidence and evaluation work programme commissioned by Scottish Government to underpin implementation of GP walk-in services and related new models of care.

As a Senior Health Information Scientist, you will make an essential contribution to this service transformation and renewal initiative. You will:

Source evidence from international research, grey literature reports and lived experience reports from clinicians and patients to help answer critical questions arising throughout the course of the programme about effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and implementation approach for healthcare walk-in services.
Support, advise and train other research and information colleagues in evidence search and summarising skills.
Summarise this evidence clearly and concisely for busy decision-makers at Scottish Government policy level and for clinicians and service managers in the pilot sites and for the improvement and research teams in HIS and PHS.
Provide evidence to inform and shape evaluation and monitoring methodology eg by defining relationships between activities and outcomes at different levels of impact.
Package the evidence into decision-ready, actionable formats -including engaging, user-centred digital tools - to support decisions and actions when and where they are needed.
Advise on and support knowledge mobilisation approaches to facilitate translation of evidence from research, lived experience and evaluation into practice and policy both within this work programme and in related service renewal initiatives.

You will be an excellent team worker with an ability to collaborate with colleagues in the RDS team, the wider Evidence and Digital Directorate, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Public Health Scotland and NHS Boards and the wider health and social care system.

You will hold a Postgraduate Masters qualification in a library, information or knowledge management-related discipline or demonstrate an equivalent of experience. They will show experience and expertise in methodology for sourcing and summarising evidence, communicating and analysing complex information to practice and policy stakeholders, creative problem-solving, knowledge mobilisation and digital design and delivery of evidence in actionable formats.

Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s Evidence and Digital Directorate is a complex and wide-ranging directorate which develops and disseminates evidence-based advice for NHS Scotland. Its outputs and activities include clinical guidelines, health technology assessment, evidence development, research, health economics, knowledge mobilisation and decision support for Healthcare Improvement Scotland and for external partners.

The Right Decision Service (RDS) is a Once for Scotland digital platform which brings evidence to the fingertips of clinicians and citizens, empowering them to make consistent, safe, person-centre care decisions.

Its mission is to provide a national source of digital tools that enable health and care staff and citizens to make safe decisions quickly 'on the go,’ based on validated evidence. These decision support tools put evidence at the fingertips of staff and citizens through everyday technology including web and mobile apps, integration into electronic care systems and integration into other national digital services such as MyCare.scot.
