Several of our #DataImpactFellows are taking on new roles and joining different projects. Here’s an update on some of their movements.
Our Data Impact Fellows are all early career researchers in either the academic or charity sectors. It’s an exciting (and, at times daunting) stage where all sorts of opportunities to work in new roles and new projects come up. We know that our Fellows are a dynamic bunch and so are really pleased that they shared what’s coming up for them.
Our current Fellows Anne Alarilla
I’ve taken on a new role as an Insight Analyst south africa rcs data for the Insight, Strategy and Innovation team at NHS Blood and Transplant (@NHSBT). The main role of the team is to be the voice of the donor/patients and improve their experience through data analysis and research.
However I also have a specific project working closely with the people directorate and evaluating staff’s experience and attitude towards NHSBT, particularly among the Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. The aim of my project is to increase staff recruitment in BAME groups which will hopefully increase more BAME donors.
I will also be exploring how I can use the available data in the UK Data Service to assist my project. This new role offers an opportunity for me to apply the knowledge I have gained from Cancer Research UK and the insights I have gained and continue gaining as a fellow to produce impactful work.
