New fellowship opportunity - Care homes and primary care: co-producing a sustainable relationship

THIS Institute is launching a new fellowship to co-produce a vision for high quality primary care for people who live in care homes, and to identify how it might be implemented and achieved within current resources and structures.

THIS Institute is seeking to appoint a fellow to lead a study to co-produce a vision for high quality primary care for people who live in care homes, and a theory of change for how it might be achieved within current structures and resources.

The fellowship is suitable for applicants who are currently in post at UK universities or other research-intensive environments (eg charity, non-profit think tank or NHS organisation). The applicant should have a background in primary care and/or social care research and be available to work as soon as possible on this award. The successful applicant will remain employed by their own university or organisation, and will be part of a vibrant professional learning community supported by THIS Institute.

Applicants should be experienced and skilled qualitative researchers who can lead the project independently while sustaining excellent relationships with care home residents and families, care home staff, primary care clinicians and staff, and stakeholders in the health and social care system.

  • Applications close 12 noon 22 January 2021
  • Office closed for fellowship questions: 21 December 2020 – 4 January 2021
