Associate Director of Quality and Clinical Standards
Working in conjunction with the Director and Deputy Director of Quality & Standards, the post holder will provide clinical leadership within the ICB and across the ICS and its five boroughs for the ongoing development and sustainability of a high quality and innovative infection prevention and control service across NCL so that the ICB delivers its responsibilities in relation to IPC and anti-microbial stewardship at system and local level.
The Associate Director of Quality and Clinical Standards will adopt a matrix approach to work across the boroughs of Barnet and Camden, working with the support of the Director of Place so that the ICB delivers its responsibilities in relation to both the NHS System Oversight Framework and population health improvement and reducing inequalities in health care.
Working closely with ICS and ICB colleagues, the postholder will be a key player in building partnerships and collaborating with providers, public health, local authority, other partners (e.g. voluntary sector) and local people to deliver better access, improvements in life outcomes, and reductions in health inequality, as well as inspiring and motivating clinical colleagues to effect change, through their involvement in transformational work.
The postholder will report into the Director of Quality & Clinical Standards and line manage the Patient Safety and Quality specialist responsible for delivering the patient safety portfolio.
Our ICB strategy for population health improvement will be underpinned by quality, clinical and people strategies which set out a commitment to develop, grow and support clinical leaders from all professional backgrounds to play a central and crucial system leadership role in designing and delivering equitable, high quality person-centred care to our patients and residents.
