NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Primary Care/ General Practitioner

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is one of the world’s leading public health universities. Our mission is to improve health and health equity in the UK and worldwide; working in partnership to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education and translation of knowledge into policy and practice. LSHTM will provide the academic framework within which the clinical lecturer will refine their research focus and build their own research programme. Clinical and non-clinical academics at LSHTM have research programs in a wide range of primary care and global primary care topics involving cross-disciplinary expertise in epidemiology, clinical trials, mixed methods research, health economics and public health. Particular strengths include: primary health care services and health policy research; the use of electronic health records for research on disease aetiology, safety and effectiveness of medicines and vaccines and health service research; the development and evaluation of community and primary health care approaches/interventions for non-communicable disease detection and management, reproductive health, adolescent health and health promotion.
