Project Manager – Audit Data for Improvement (ADI)

Are you seeking a new challenge to help organisations use data to drive improvement in patient outcomes, working across healthcare at national level? Would you value an opportunity to develop your skills in a project-based role?…….then we would love to hear from you.

National clinical audits and clinical outcome review programmes play a vital role in improving patient outcomes, supporting clinicians, and strengthening the NHS by delivering robust, data-driven insights that drive quality improvement. As the organisation responsible for commissioning and managing the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) on behalf of NHS England, Welsh Government and Devolved nations, HQIP ensures that healthcare quality and outcomes are measured against explicit standards, providing actionable insights that enhance care at both national policy and local patient levels.

Led by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the Royal College of Nursing, HQIP enables those who commission, deliver, and receive healthcare to harness clinical data to drive meaningful, lasting improvements in patient safety and care quality across the UK. We do this through engaging, influencing and advising organisations at national level including CQC, DHSC, UKHSA, HDR UK, HRA and many others, as well as through considering the needs of other audiences such as patients, healthcare provider organisations and clinical teams.

We are a small, friendly team working in a fast-paced environment and are seeking a project manager for our Audit Data for Improvement programme of work. This programme focuses on multiagency working to ensure NCAPOP results are shared, visualised and acted on effectively. You will work with internal HQIP teams, NCAPOP project providers, healthcare providers, CQC, NHS England and IT intermediaries to design processes and manage and improve the flow of NCAPOP results data and information between organisations. If you have had previous experience in project and / or data management, are seeking a new challenge and have the relevant experience and skills, we would love to hear from you.
