The Specialised Commissioning Patient and Public Voice Assurance Group (PPV AG) are looking to appoint an Independent Chair.

This is a fixed term position as the length of the position is 3 years, working approximately 24 days per year.

ABOUT PPV AG

NHS England is accountable commissioner for 154 specialised services.

Specialised services support people with a range of rare and complex conditions. They often involve treatments provided to patients with rare cancers, genetic disorders or complex medical or surgical conditions. They deliver cutting-edge care and are a catalyst for innovation, supporting pioneering clinical practice in the NHS.

NHS England has in place strong patient and public involvement and engagement mechanisms as part of its national governance for the specialised commissioning function, providing advice on securing appropriate engagement and involvement in activities and fulfilling our legal duty to involve the public in commissioning.

The Patient and Public Voice Assurance Group (PPV AG) works to offer strategic assurance to NHS England that effective mechanisms are in place to fully involve patients and the wider public in the development of the national specialised services portfolio, including our statutory duties as national commissioners to involve and consult.

Please note that the reason for the fixed term contract is that it is a short-term vacancy.

MAIN DUTIES

- Have responsibility for escalating key issues and concerns within NHS England
- Maintain pro-active relationships with a range of key stakeholders, including patients, patient groups and interested organisations
- Oversee the production of an Annual Report which will be presented to the NHS England NCG / DCG

Remuneration for PPV AG Chair will be £268 per day for approximately 24 days per year.

The NHS is building a culture that is positive, compassionate and inclusive - and we all have our part to play.

As employers we are committed to protecting and promoting the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all our colleagues. This underpins our values as set out in the NHS Constitution and supports us to be an Employer of Choice, while helping our colleagues to deliver high quality services for our patients and communities.

**The objectives of the PPV AG are**:
i) To deliver a strategic, ‘critical friend’ function across specialised services governance, in respect of patient and public voice

ii) To maintain oversight of the successful implementation of models for patient and public voice and participation, including the development of assurance processes

iii) To contribute to the improvement of services and patient experience in respect of specialised services
