Job description

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 roles include a Medical Director - Operational Delivery, Medical Director - Professional Standards, Deputy Medical Director - Workforce, Deputy Medical Director - Patient Safety, and Deputy Medical Director - Governance.

These leadership 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 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 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 that 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 2024.

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.

About us

At NCIC, we have an ambition to deliver outstanding hospital and health services to half a million people. Established on 1st October 2019, the Trust is creating a centre of excellence in providing rural and remote healthcare and provides a wide range of community and acute services throughout north Cumbria and beyond. We're responsible for delivering over 70 services across 15 main locations and we employ more than 6,500 members of staff.

Our 5 key principles demonstrate our belief in the delivery of 'safe, high quality care every time':

1. Being a clinically led organisation
2. Quality and safety at the heart
3. A positive patient experience every time
4. A great place to work
5. 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.

We are fortunate to be located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. With the Lake District on our doorstep, Cumbria is a great place to call home.
