Job Description

In 2018 the Psoriasis Priority Setting Partnership (PSP), a collaboration involving healthcare professionals and those with lived-experience of psoriatic disease which was led by the PI for this project (HY), identified the “MOST IMPORTANT” research priorities in psoriasis / psoriatic arthritis.

In this new study, the role holder and the team in Manchester will work closely with the Psoriasis Association, to investigate how effective the original Psoriasis PSP was in: i) encouraging the research community to find answers to the priorities identified as “MOST IMPORTANT” and ii) facilitating the views of those with lived-experience and their healthcare providers to set the research agenda for psoriasis in the UK.

The work of the role holder will directly and indirectly enhance patient care and drive further investment in psoriasis focused research.

What you will get in return:

  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
