Resources are shared more effectively across functional directorates, including minimum standards around ‘office cover’ by promoting more purposeful and consistent use of the Region’s Estates portfolio.

The hubs provide peer to peer support, shared learning and provide cross cover during planned and unplanned absence.

Offers development opportunities for staff with training and shadowing opportunities and are great opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Nursing / Medical / Public Health

Performance and Improvement / Strategy and Transformation

Workforce, Education and Training / RD Office / Commissioning / Finance
