The Deputy Chief Medical Officer role is a significant opportunity to develop a key leadership role, and will be pivotal to culture and medical management in our diverse Trust.

The DCMO role has 8 programmed activities and additional PA’s can be agreed in a clinical service. The post includes on-call responsibilities. This will be considered as part of the personal development plan and in most instances the DCMO will join or work towards joining the Executive On-call rota. The post holder will be supported with their development by the CMO and through their appraisal, development plan and supervision. They are encouraged to undertake leadership training if desired.
