2 weeks ago


Shrewsbury, United Kingdom NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board Full time

A new and exciting opportunity has arisen to join a Cancer Programme team overseeing and delivering a high profile, whole system programme and strategy of transforming cancer services for the whole county.

Using their clinical expertise, the Senior Quality Lead for Cancer Transformation will work with ICB transformation, planning, performance and partnerships teams to monitor safety, quality and patient experience within each area relating to their portfolio linking to the ICB’s quality assurance processes and strategy as well as the broader programme of transformation.

The principle of the role is for a qualified, experienced clinician to provide a specialist clinical perspective to identify and advise the ICB of any areas where there is limited evidence of assurance or gaps in assurance, identifying any missed opportunities for learning and recommendations for ICB learning to strengthen our governance and quality monitoring processes and identify improvements/examples of good practice to support developments to the ICB’s Quality Assurance processes. This will be delivered in the context of the broader system-wide quality surveillance model, which will aim to drive continuous improvement. The role will involve clinical practice audits/assurance work.

The post-holder will drive forward the pro-active approach within the ICB in assuring and evidencing the continuous improvement in the quality and safety of local cancer services. The role supports the business in driving improvements in quality through transformation as well as value for money in planning, commissioning and service re-design. The post-holder will support the achievement of strategic goals in establishing a patient safety culture across our system.

The post holder will work as part of a dynamic Cancer Programme team to deliver safe, patient focussed and effective commissioning in accordance with national guidance and good practice and national and local commissioning strategies.

This is a 12-month fixed-term post or a secondment opportunity for existing NHS employees.

Working closely together, in a more joined-up way, means we can have closer links to our patients so we can develop more personalised local services which will improve the lives of our residents and reduce inequalities.

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin currently have an agile working policy, with a combination of working from home and occasional office-based work or meetings. The organisation creates a supportive culture for all staff and encourages staff to access the Health and Wellbeing group which has a programme of activities, events and training.
