Reporting to: Head of Division

The University of Nottingham seeks applications for a HEEM-funded Academic Clinical or non-clinical Lecturer (AL) in Public Health. The successful candidate will have a strong research commitment in public health and epidemiological research in conjunction with service training in Public Health, commensurate with obtaining a CCT in Public Health in 4 years or less (depending on previous experience and public health training already completed).

The PostIn this HEEM Academic Lectureship in Public Health, the Lecturer will spend 50% of their time consolidating their experience in Public Health and undertaking service training commensurate with obtaining Specialist Registration (CCT) in Public Health on the Health Education East Midlands Public Health Training programme centred around Nottingham and surrounding counties. The remaining 50% of their time will be spent in academic work. Time allocated to training and to academic work will generally run in parallel, but may be annualised, i.e. taken in blocks, as appropriate to the successful candidate’s service and research training needs. The appointee will become a member of the well-developed HEEM Academic Training Programme and, if clinical, also the Clinical Academic Training Programme in the School of Medicine, University of Nottingham (www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/catp). The latter provides support in integrated clinical academic training, with research funding applications, through networking, mentorship and with an annual research conference bursary.Whilst the post will be offered on a fixed term contract for a period of up to 4 years, or until award of CCT whichever is shorter, if the successful candidate already holds a PhD or MD, they would be expected to develop plans for a post-doctoral or clinician scientist award, which may shorten the lectureship or follow on. If the successful candidate does not hold a higher degree, they would be expected to register for a PhD or MD as part of their training. On completion of their training, the trainee should be fully qualified to apply for Clinical or non-clinical Associate Professor / Honorary Consultant posts. An Honorary Specialty Registrar contract will be sought, in common with all East Midlands Public Health registrars.Details of the academic and service aspects of the post are given below.

Academic component of the Academic Lecturer (AL) posts

Page 2 of 11

During the academic component of the post (50%), the AL will further develop their academic skills in Public Health and epidemiological research and teaching. On the research side, the Lecturer will be expected to develop their own research programme and compete for external grant funding. The research part of the training will be tailored to individual needs of the Lecturer taking into account any existing research interests, whilst seeking synergies with the established research groupings within the Division, recognising the importance of ‘critical mass’. The AL would be expected to further develop their track record in research and academic writing; they will have access to the research facilities of the Academic Division, which has excellent statistical and technical support. They will be expected to undertake research and, as part of their research portfolio, they will be expected to develop skills in research supervision through the supervision of a small number of ‘home students’ undertaking the research component (in the 3rd year) of their BMedSci medical undergraduate degree programme, and Masters in Public Health students undertaking the research and dissertation components of their degrees. The AL’s personal research programme would be expected to fit broadly within the research themes of the Division, described in more detail below. Each AL will have an Academic Supervisor with whom they will formulate their individual academic programme. The AL will be expected to attend:

The weekly Divisional seminars. Divisional research meetings. Other research meetings at the discretion of the supervisor. Conduct research (40%). Publish at least one paper or at least two abstracts describing original research each year

(this is seen as an absolute minimum) If a PhD or MD is already held, to apply for a further, peer-reviewed externally-funded post-

doctoral training award (such as a Clinician Scientist Award, or an Intermediate or Senior Research Fellowship from the Medical Research Council, NIHR a major charity such as the Wellcome Trust, or another funding body).

If not yet in possession of a PhD or MD, to register for and work towards achieving a higher degree.

Office accommodation will be provided within the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health, City Hospital Campus, University of Nottingham, School of Medicine.

The Division of Epidemiology and Public Health Website: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/about/eph/index.aspx

Staff

The Division currently employs over 60 staff and postgraduate students, the majority of whom are based in new purpose-built accommodation in an extension to the Clinical Sciences Building on the Nottingham City Hospital campus. A full staff list is available at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/medicine/about/eph/people/index.aspx

Research

The Epidemiology and Public Health research group is highly research active, having been ranked 12th of 32 for research power in Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care (UA02) in the 2014 REF exercise. 38% and 44% of assessed outputs in UA02 were ranked 4* (world leading) or 3* (internationally excellent) respectively.

The respiratory research interests of the group originated in a policy of investigating the causation and prevention of chronic respiratory disease (particularly asthma, COPD and cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis), and this led to the establishment of a strong and multidisciplinary tobacco control research group lead by John Britton, Tim Coleman (from the Division of Primary Care) and Sarah Lewis. This group has developed work on all aspects of tobacco and alcohol control research, including smoking cessation trials, relapse prevention, product regulation, harm reduction and policy development and evaluation. Most of these projects include qualitative research components. (see: http://www.ukctas.ac.uk/ukctas/index.aspx and https://nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/tobaccocontrol/index.aspx).

Page 3 of 11

Our clinical epidemiology research, which has impacted substantially on healthcare policy, spans multiple disease areas including: cancer epidemiology, gastrointestinal epidemiology, perinatal epidemiology, respiratory epidemiology. Particular methodological strengths are development and use of large e-health databases, conduct of cohort studies in developing countries, systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Through Professor Richard Hubbard the group has also developed substantial experience of using large established databases, particularly the General Practice Research Database and its successor, THIN, for aetiological and pharmacoepidemiology studies. Professor Hubbard is also leading large database work of specific relevance to tobacco on behalf of the UKCTCS. The epidemiology group also has a portfolio of clinical trials and health service research projects, and strong research collaborations with colleagues in the USA, Ethiopia, and elsewhere. (see: https://nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/clinicalepidemiology/index.aspx)

The Health Protection and Influenza Research Group led by Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, has major research interests in influenza epidemiology, vaccinology, antiviral drugs, transmission and pandemic preparedness and response. It works very closely with Public Health England (PHE), the Department of Health (England). It is an official World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for pandemic influenza research, a PHE Field Epidemiology Training Centre and a Faculty of Public Health ‘National Treasure’ training location. (see: https://nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/healthprotection/index.aspx)

A team of six statisticians, led by Professor Sarah Lewis, provide statistical input to the division. The team has particular strengths in applying statistical methodology in a broad range of epidemiological settings, and experience of using more complex statistical models, including multi-level modelling, meta-analysis, and generalised linear models for time series, panel study and case-series analysis.

Teaching Teaching is a core generic academic skill and the AL will be expected to take an active role in contributing to public health and epidemiological teaching: this will occupy at least 10% of total work time and may include lectures, tutorials, assisting with the organisation of examinations in the Nottingham Medical School undergraduate curriculum and postgraduate courses.

The post will be part of the Health Education East Midlands training programme in Public Health. The rotation will be tailored to the training needs and, as far as is possible, to the research interests of the applicant. It is envisaged that these posts can be based at a variety of established/approved Public Health training locations in the East Midlands, including Public Health England Offices, Local Authority Departments of Public Health. Training within NHS Trusts can also be occasionally undertaken after appropriate approval. However, the overriding aim will be to provide the post holder with the opportunity to develop both their service and research expertise within Public Health in a synergistic way. Establishing links with these service training locations may also provide further research opportunities, and enhance the postholder’s ability to attain service-based competencies required for obtaining a CCT in due course. The main aim of the service component is to complete training in Public Health and obtain a CCT. All trainees are expected to attend training days as arranged under the HEEM service training programme. The AL is expected to take an active part in audit and other relevant governance activity being undertaken as part of the training programme, to organise service meetings, to contribute to the management activities of the directorates and divisions to which they are attached, to attend appropriate committees within the directorates/divisions; also, feedback and counselling session/professional reviews and these are seen as essential components of higher medical training. The rotation will provide training according to the requirements of the Faculty of Public Health, the LETB, and the Postgraduate Dean's network. The Postgraduate Dean confirms that this placement and/or programme will have the required educational and Dean's approval at the time of entry in to the programme. At the local level, Academic Supervisors in Public Health work with Educational Supervisors in supervising training. Annual ARCP assessment of a trainee's progress will be undertaken under the overall guidance of the relevant Specialist Education Committee. Trainees will be expected to take part in appraisal, feedback and counselling session/professional review.

Mentoring and Supervisory Arrangements for the Academic Lecturers (AL)It is expected that most applicants will identify a lead Academic Supervisor within the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health. This will be a senior academic with closely matched research interests. Under the HEEM training scheme in Public Health, the official Academic Programme Director will be Professor Jonathan Van-Tam (jvt@nottingham.ac.uk); he will support the new HEEM Lecturer in selecting an appropriate Academic Supervisor for their chosen research field. As for all Specialty Trainees, service Public Health training will be co-ordinated by the Clinical Training Programme Director, Dr Caroline Hird (caroline.hird1@nhs.net). All training will be organised in conjunction with the Academic Supervisor with recourse to the Academic Programme Director, if required.Assessment of Academic/Service Competencies and Joint Process ManagementAll Lecturers undergo a formal annual academic appraisal to monitor progress and expectations. An academic report from this is submitted to, and considered by, the joint Service-Academic ARCP Panel which monitors progress of Specialty Trainees and Lecturers each year. Progress will also be monitored with an internal review at 2 years.

Conditions of Service and GovernanceThe successful candidate will be offered an Honorary Contract with an appropriate NHS/Local Public Health body under its terms and conditions. When undertaking service duties on this basis, the person appointed will be expected to adhere to local policies and procedures and to take note of the standing orders and financial instructions of the host unit. Professional Standards The Head of Division, Professor Richard Hubbard, is managerially responsible for all activity and personnel in the Division. All clinicians are expected to comply with management arrangements in place, to follow the guidelines on practice laid down by the General Medical Council’s “Maintaining Good Medical Practice”, and to be accountable to the service units to which they are attached for their actions and the quality of their work.
