By joining the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) division you will work on the successful delivery of projects to demonstrate the clinical and health economic value of some of the newest and most innovative therapies in development. In countries where HTA represents the final hurdle before a new therapy can achieve patient access, your work will have a direct impact on the successful reimbursement of these therapies. To date, the HTA team at Costello Medical have worked on over 200 submissions to national reimbursement agencies, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) and the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE).
As an Analyst you will work closely with your clients to develop the HTA strategy for their product that then informs the delivery of multiple project types including the medical writing of HTA submission dossiers, the organisation of HTA advisory boards and the conducting of clinical and economic systematic literature reviews (SLRs). The HTA team also work collaboratively with our Health Economics and Statistics (HES) team to develop health economic models including budget impact models and cost-effectiveness analyses. Many of our Analysts in HTA have gone on to study for a fully-funded postgraduate Masters degree in Health Economics from the University of York.
You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues from all divisions, who provide one-to-one training on the technical aspects of the role, as well as on project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients and, following a successful induction period, you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.
Our team work on several projects at one time and the results of HTA projects can feed into publications, value materials or health technology assessment (HTA) submissions. You will therefore be exposed to a wide variety of the services offered by Costello Medical and a broad range of therapeutic areas.
Hybrid Working Policy: We recognise that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost.
Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues who have passed probation to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role) you will be able to work from home for 1 day per week.
