You will lead the governance assurance framework for the Paediatric Emergency department and work alongside the governance, risk and patient safety teams within the trust to learn and strengthen clinical pathways.

You will lead the educational and training programmes for the Paediatric Emergency department across both sites, promote learning, professional curiosity and to hold others to account alongside guiding the activity of nursing, medical and other staff to ensure rapid assessment, treatment and ultimately transfer/discharge of children and young people.
