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.

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 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 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

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'.

• Being a clinically led organisation
• Quality and safety at the heart

• 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.
