University of Westminster offers PhD studentship on continuing care

The University of Westminster is offering a new PhD studentship to students interested in researching continuing care. Entitled ‘Modelling for Continuing Care’, the PhD will involve working closely with the NHS London Procurement Programme as well as with the University’s Health and Social Care Modelling Group. The successful applicants will undertake research either in the area of performance modelling and benchmarking of continuing care, or in predicting the placement, length of stay and cost involved in providing continuing care. A tax-free stipend is available and tuition fees will be paid in full. The closing date for applications is 26 June 2009. Full details can be found at the University of Westminster’s website.
