This is a North Central London (NCL) role, hosted by UCLH.
The North Central London Medicines Optimisation Network (NCL MON) is a collaborative across NHS Provider organisations and the West and North London Integrated Care Board (WNL ICB). The NCL Joint Formulary Committee (JFC) is a principal committee within the network, which fulfils the Area Prescribing Committee function and cross-sector clinical governance for medicines. JFC is responsible for establishing whether new medicines, and new indications for existing medicines, represent a safe, equitable, evidence-based and cost-effective use of medicines. It also coordinates or facilitates the development of medicine pathways, guidelines and position statements to support medicines optimisation and reduce unwarranted variation.

Purpose of the Role
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
