You will have strong links to the GIRFT national clinical leads and other regional HVLC clinical leads, which will provide you with peer support, as well as learning and development opportunities in this role.

As a regional clinical lead, you will use your passion and expert knowledge to facilitate discussions and guide relevant stakeholders to ensure that our local population receives excellent and integrated orthopaedic care

- promote the use of improvement tools and techniques to evaluate the impact of improvement programmes related to the HVLC agenda.
- promote the use of regular data analysis, measurement and evaluation, that is open-book, system-focused and consistent.
- Lead and promote a networking approach to build engagement that supports collective improvement and shared learning in gynaecology across the region.
- Build collaboration networks to facilitate co-production of implementation plans with ICSs and Trusts.

In April 2023, NHS England, NHS Digital, and Health Education England merged to create a new, single organisation to lead the NHS in England. This new NHS England is designed to create a simpler, smaller, high performing, organisation that leads the NHS more effectively and is a better place to work. Speaking with one voice to the service.

The new NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.

Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.

Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care

Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation

Delivering value for money.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in-person.

**Secondments**:
You will lead a regional orthopaedic Advisory Group that will bring together ICS’s, clinical, nursing, theatre and AHP leads to share practice, drive improvement and reduce clinical variation across the Midlands.

You will also be available to provide clinical advice, input, and support to the GIRFT Best MSK Programme, which seeks to recover and rebuild high quality high value personalised MSK provision.

Please note this is a secondment position of 2 PA’s per week, from your host organisation, until 31 st March 2025 with potential opportunity to be extended further.
