In 2020 LCP launched our Heath Analytics practice, providing analytical and research services for organisations across the life sciences and healthcare industries. Our team brings together clinicians, statisticians, epidemiologists, health economists and health data scientists alongside our established actuarial, analytics and technology teams to deliver new solutions to the fundamental challenges in health.
Our team’s mission is to help move health systems from importers of illness to exporters of health and to support our clients to deliver value to patients. We have already developed a track record for leading approaches to real world evidence generation, health economic modelling and innovative reimbursement design.
We have been growing the team quickly in response to the demand we are seeing for the service offerings we have developed and are now looking for an Evidence Synthesis specialist to join our team of experts and strengthen our capabilities in this area.
You will play a key role in the design, execution, and analysis of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) and meta-analyses, leading projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality SLRs.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to join a dynamic team at an exciting time in its growth. As an experienced hire, it's also an opportunity to help shape the growth and development of the team.
The role can be based from our offices in Winchester or Central London where we operate a hybrid working policy with 2 days a week on average in office.
