Senior Health Technology Assessment Analyst (Ionising Radiation)

Health Information And Quality Authority (HIQA)

Cork Or Dublin

The purpose of this role is to join a team with responsibility for appraising and developing evidence synthesis reviews related to medical exposure to ionising radiation (MEIR). The aim of this work will be to inform the generic justification of new and existing practices that involve MEIR, in accordance with the EU Directive 2013/59/Euratom, which was transposed into Irish law on 8 January 2019. The MEIR evaluation team will be embedded within the larger health technology assessment (HTA) multidisciplinary team in HIQA. The HTA team, overall, comprises approximately 30 analysts, and has responsibility for the effective implementation of HIQA’s programmes to deliver high quality health technology assessments, other evidence based advice and evidence synthesis outputs, and, therefore, to embed evidence-based methodology in health decision-making processes in Ireland. The scope of HIQA’s work includes providing evidence synthesis and evidence-based advice to inform the public health response to COVID-19, providing evidence synthesis to support the work of the National Screening Advisory Committee, and health technology assessment advice to inform investment or disinvestment in health technologies and programmes. HIQA also performs evidence synthesis to support the development of National Clinical Guidelines & Audit and the development of national health policy. HIQA works collaboratively with high-level stakeholders, with academic groups, and with international HTA agencies, to deliver on these objectives. Methods development and academic outputs are actively encouraged and the Directorate hosts a range of post-graduate fellowships and an active post-graduate degree training programme. The post holder will actively engage in the work of the HTA directorate and of HIQA to deliver on the annual business plan in line with the strategic objectives as outlined in HIQA’s Corporate Plan. There is currently one permanent vacancy for immediate appointment. In addition, HIQA may create a panel for future permanent and or fixed-term vacancies that may arise.
