At North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) things are changing.
We have recently appointed to a number of exciting leadership roles at NCIC. These recently appointed roles include a Medical Director Operational Delivery, Medical Director Professional Standards, Deputy Medical Director Workforce, Deputy Medical Director Patient Safety, Deputy Medical Director Governance.
These roles are part of a wider structural change, restructuring our services into Care Collaboratives, and giving clinicians greater responsibility for the specialties they deliver. 8 x Clinical Collaborative Chairs have recently been appointed to lead our clinical services.
These leadership roles will put us firmly on path to becoming truly clinically led, where the quality of patient care is at the heart of our decision making.
All successful candidates will be expected to submit documentation for the GMC Portfolio Pathway within 18 months of their start date.
To be successful you will have the skills, energy and enthusiasm to lead our clinical teams, and drive the 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 which values professional excellence and enables our clinicians to be the best they can be.
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 proposed to open in 2025.
A £15m business case has recently been approved, and plans are now in development, for a new Endoscopy Suite at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, including 5 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 which are not typically found in other district general hospitals, including interventional cardiology and vascular services.
At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding healthcare services to the population of North Cumbria. The Trust is committed to creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare and provides a wide range of community and acute services throughout our county.
Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of safe, high quality care every time:
Being a clinically led organisation
Quality and safety at the heart of our Trust
A positive patient experience every time
A great place to work
Managing our money well
As an organisation we are serious about supporting a diverse workforce that reflects our local community and are very much focused on being an inclusive and compassionate place to work.
Across the North East and North Cumbria we are working together to deliver our ambition to be the greenest region in England by 2030. All staff are expected to support sustainability.
