Principal of Intelligence and Wider Determinants

The Public Health Team is building their intelligence function to improve population health and are seeking a talented individual with a drive to reduce inequalities. You will lead the public health Intelligence and population health management programme using relevant linked datasets to improve the health and well-being of the population of Gwent. Continuing our journey to be a population health organisation, the public health agenda is central to our strategy for improving the health and well-being outcomes for our local population via best use of NHS resources. It will be essential to have experience using such things as, excel, R, python, SQL Queries, Power BI and other reporting tools. As a Marmot region, reducing health inequalities and tackling wider determinants of health is at the core of what we do. We need someone that is passionate and can drive our insights into the social, economic and environmental determinants of health to inform our approach to tackling inequalities in
health and create a stronger, fairer, safer Gwent.

Main duties of the job

You will help us achieve this through delivery of an annual online Joint Strategic Assessment, by leading the development of action orientated dashboards, by providing a social narrative that tells the story of Gwent and championing health equality and equity through analysis.

You will support the development of population health indicators that will reduce inequalities and providing statistical insight about health, care and well-being across Gwent, including robust analytics surrounding primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. You'll be supporting the development of warehouse for Health Board linked data, including the data standards, security and quality and taking a key role in supporting the development of a population health management platform to deliver better outcomes to the residents of Gwent. We are keenly interested in data that supports the wider determinants of health, not just health care.
