Clinical Lead opportunities with Getting It Right First Time Programme

The GIRFT Programme, is expanding from 11 to 29 clinical work-streams in 2017, including diabetes & endocrinology.

The Clinical Leads will oversee the creation of a national review of all data using the proven GIRFT methodology relating to the delivery of their specialty across England. Providers will be benchmarked against one another and best practice, with each trust receiving a comprehensive review of their data and receiving support to tackle the challenges and findings behind the variation that the review highlights.

The role will involve close collaborative working with national clinical directors and Specialised Commissioning Clinical Reference Group chairs within NHS England, where they are in place, and also with specialty leads where they exist within the Medical Directorate of NHS Improvement.

The programme is looking for skilled and effective clinical leaders who are recognised as experts by their clinical colleagues and have the endorsement of their specialty societies. They will be on a part-time secondment basis over an initial two-year period and we anticipate an average commitment of 88 days per year.

The deadline for applications is 5 February 2017. For further information visit the GIRFT website.
