Sep 2019 - Sep 2020
Working within the Data Access and Request Service meant I worked closely with NHS trusts, universities, private medical organisations and CCGs to enable them to request NHS health data, for the purpose of making improvements to the wider health and social care system. During the covid-19 pandemic, I worked closely on high profile data release cases, such as 'The Recovery Trial'. I led and facilitated a staff training day in Southport, focusing on organisational change, and fed back to the Independent Group for Allowing the Release of Data (IGARD) on their committee processes using an empirically supported socio-technical systems model and framework. As an aside to my key role and responsibilities, I volunteered as the Information Officer for NHS Digital's Menopause Network. Here I was responsible for organising and scheduling committee and network meetings, document the minutes and facilitating monthly menopause events such as 'menopause cafes'. Show less
