The post holder will work on a new project looking to digitalise and automate the Op RESTORE patient navigation pathway. Op RESTORE is the national veteran’s physical health and well-being service which supports individuals with service-related injuries navigating NHS and military charity pathways.
The post holder will be working on automating the synthesis of data from medical records using natural language processing, developing a smart referral questionnaire to improve data capture, and building a machine learning algorithm to automate parts of the health navigation journey.

They will also need to liaise with military charities and other statutory services.
