Project Coordinator Guidelines Office

The production of clinical guidelines is an integral part of the ongoing EAU educational efforts. Clinical guidelines summarise the best evidence available at the time of their publication aiming to assist clinicians in making informed decisions about their patients. Multi-disciplinary panels of experts – currently 20 different panels – produce these documents annually under the supervision of a Board of experts. This ongoing process results in a number of different supplementary publications (scientific papers, short-reference documents and online applications, amongst others). Although the guidelines production is the primary objective, there are other large projects coordinated in the Guidelines Office.

The Coordinator will take on a key position in guarding time lines throughout the production process. You are able to independently communicate at the appropriate level with medical professionals and colleagues, as well as any other parties involved in this process (research scientists, statisticians, medical writers, printers etc.). Additional activities include retrieval of scientific publications and end-product enhancement (proof reading and reference checks) in collaboration with the Guidelines Manager.

Personal initiative, flexibility and the ability to work under time pressure and co-operatively with the Guidelines Office team are crucial attributes, as well as an interest in the subject matter.

• Assist in determining production time lines together with the Guidelines Office Board, the expert panels and the Guidelines Manager.
• Project management of a number of Guidelines Panels to ensure their overall responsibility of delivering updated guidelines and associated activities is met.
• Ensure accurate data management (scientists search results, different text versions, etc.).
• Identify (potential) problems and help find solutions, together with the Guidelines Manager.

• Assisting with training sessions for new members, associates and patient representatives.
