Information Analyst

Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Information Analyst to join Information Services at Newcastle Hospitals as the lead analyst of maternity data. The role will involve the production of a wide range of analysis for the Family Health Clinical Board, with a focus on maternity services and data produced from the Badgernet clinical system.

This new, dedicated post has been created to gain valuable insights into the care provided for women across the region who use our maternity services. By interrogating and surfacing information captured along maternity pathways we gain a deeper understanding of the impact of different interventions and the subsequent outcomes for both mum and baby.
