• Provide specialist analytical and epidemiological advice to public health, ICB partners, and service leads, contributing to key workstreams (e.g., frailty, long‑term conditions).
• Ensure rigorous data governance, confidentiality, and compliance with Information Governance (IG) standards across all council and ICB datasets.
