  Clinical Policy Development: Lead the creation, implementation, and review of clinical policies, prescribing protocols, and care pathways, ensuring they are in line with the latest clinical guidance and regulations.
  Stakeholder Engagement: Represent the organisation in interactions with regulatory bodies, healthcare partners, and clinical networks, both in the UK and internationally. Support commercial and clinical alignment in strategic partnerships.
• Data, Insight & Reporting: Use clinical data and performance metrics to identify trends, inform strategic decisions, and improve outcomes. Report regularly to the Board on clinical performance and risk.
  Innovation & Service Expansion: Contribute to the strategic development of new services and markets, ensuring clinical viability and regulatory readiness of new initiatives.
