Projektbeschreibung

The Organisation

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency enhance and improve the health of millions of people every day through the effective regulation of medicines and medical devices, underpinned by science and research. This role will be within the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) division of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.

Purpose of Role

In CPRD electronic health data is supplied on a regular basis by primary and secondary healthcare. The main purpose of the role is to develop, implement and document a set of generic SAS routines to manipulate electronic health data sets according to specific algorithms developed by scientific colleagues.

Key Responsibilities:

-.Design and development of generic SAS routines for data management and analysis

Design and implementation of standard data management routines involving data extraction (database querying), data manipulation and basic data analysis. Designed in partnership with key colleagues according to documented specifications, these modules should be robust and independent of data source and structure where possible. They should conform to standard output specifications and should be modular, easy to use and integrate into standard template programs.

- Design and development of generic SAS routines for data linkage

Design and implementation of standard data linkage routines involving data extraction (database querying), data manipulation and basic data analysis. Designed in partnership with key colleagues according to documented specifications, these modules should be robust and independent of data source and structure where possible. They should conform to standard output specifications and should be modular, easy to use and integrate into standard template programs.

- Design and development of generic SAS routines for the use of EHR data in clinical trials

Design and implementation of standard data manipulation routines to effect the integration of CPRD real world data into a clinical trial data set and subsequent analysis. These routines will be designed in partnership with key colleagues according to documented specifications relating to a trial protocol, these modules should be robust and independent of data source and structure where possible. They should conform to standard input and output specifications where appropriate (such as CDISC ODM) and should be modular, easy to use and integrate into standard template programs.

- Development of appropriate design and development documentation to complement the SAS modules

Documentation of all routines according to CPRD SOPs and to an appropriate standard depending upon the purpose of the developed modules. Documentation will include specification, design and development documents and diagrams. User guides or information for potential users of the modules will be part of this documentation set.

- Development and implementation or oversight of appropriate validation, testing and UAT activities to ensure modules are fit for purpose

Oversight and implementation according to CPRD SOPs of validation testing, validation checks and UAT plans for SAS modules. Implementation of internal validity testing, collation and documentation of results. Oversight of UAT plan execution and the collation and documentation of results. Facilitation of any other QA activities deemed fit, and cataloguing of module development and testing documentation.
