Audit Facilitator - Critical Care

at  Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Are you data focused? Do you have an analytical mind? If so, this could be the role for you.
A rarely available opportunity for a full time audit facilitator has arisen in our Critical Care Unit at Royal Preston Hospital.
The Unit participates in the Case Mix Programme which is an audit of patient outcomes from adult Critical Care Units. The data is collected by our Audit Facilitators and submitted to ICNARC (Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre).
The data from patients is compared to outcomes from other similar patients on similar Critical Care Units, this shows how we compare to other units and identifies any trends.
We are looking for someone who is analytical and confident in data extraction, we need someone who has a great level of attention to detail and excellent organisational skills whilst working in a busy environment.
The role is full time and you will be working alongside a part time audit facilitator.
Previous experience in a data focused role or knowledge of
Intensive Care Audit and Research (ICNARC) would be beneficial, but is not essential.
We have 10,000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area and give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.
Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients and staff, ensuring we keep thriving and delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people and do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills and enhance your career path.
You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold and help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something to be proud of.
