At North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) things are changing.
We have recently appointed a number of exciting leadership roles at NCIC, including a Medical Director – Operational Delivery, Medical Director – Professional Standards, Deputy Medical Director – Workforce, Deputy Medical Director – Patient Safety, and Deputy Medical Director – Governance.
These roles form part of a wider structural change, restructuring services into Care Collaboratives and giving clinicians greater responsibility for the specialties they deliver. Eight Clinical Collaborative Chairs have recently been appointed to lead our clinical services.
These leadership roles will put us firmly on the path to becoming truly clinically led, where the quality of patient care is at the heart of our decision‑making.
Main duties of the job
To be successful you will have the skills, energy, and enthusiasm to lead our clinical teams and drive change and innovation to help us deliver the best possible care. You will inspire others and play a vital role in delivering our ambitious agenda. You will add a strong clinical voice to our leadership team and contribute to a culture that values professional excellence and enables clinicians to be their best.
It is an exciting time to join us as we work with the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London to launch the Cumbria Medical School in 2025. Our vision is to be a leading organisation for medical leadership, education and training.
The Trust currently has a £40m development programme for our West Cumberland Hospital site and plans for a new £20m Community Diagnostic Centre to open in 2025. A £15m business case has recently been approved for a new Endoscopy Suite at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, including five endoscopy rooms. In addition, the Trust is about to embark on a £40m programme to procure and implement a modular, integrated and interoperable electronic patient record (EPR).
Due to our geography we deliver a broad range of clinical services not typically found in other district general hospitals, including interventional cardiology and vascular services.
