The role holder will be encouraged to pursue relevant training and to support patient and public involvement/engagement (PPIE) activities, potentially in partnership with patient organisations. Opportunities for involvement in other department activities, such as equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives are also available, if of interest to the role holder.
