• Review team outputs to maintain analytical standards and ensure accurate, timely, and well-documented reporting.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to address analytical needs, resolve data quality issues, and communicate insights effectively.
• Drive adoption of approaches such as segmentation, risk stratification, and predictive modelling to support integrated care and improve outcomes.
• Research and implement healthcare analytics innovations and promote upskilling within the team.
• Leverage tools like SQL, Snowflake, Power BI, and Tableau to streamline data processes and enhance reporting efficiency.
• Contribute to risk assessments, benchmarking, and aligning analytics with NCLCA and NHS England objectives.
• Support business continuity by covering key processes and ensuring workflows are robust and automated where possible.
