Clinical Service Lead Anticoagulant Services
NHS AfC: Band 8a
Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust is a friendly, integrated healthcare provider focused on improving the life chances and health outcomes of our diverse population.
We have three strategic objectives:
1. People: To cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff;
2. Patients: To be good or outstanding at everything we do;
3. Population: To work seamlessly with partners to improve lives;
We run services from Sandwell, City and Rowley Regis Hospitals, Birmingham & Midland Eye Centre, Birmingham Treatment Centre, the Lyng and Leasowes Intermediate Care Centre. Our GP practices and community teams provide care in schools, healthcare centres and at home.
Our next milestone is opening the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), a once in a career opportunity to shape care transformation within and beyond the hospital walls.
Developing and caring for our People is fundamental. We were one of the first Trusts to provide the Real Living Wage, as well as a Live and Work scheme to support people at risk of homelessness into paid work and training. We offer a range of staff benefits, health & wellbeing support and will help you to bring your ambition to life through our bespoke training and development programmes. As “People” is one of our three strategic objectives, we make a continued commitment to prioritise support for all our colleagues.
Healthcare services have a significant impact on the environment. We are committed to embedding sustainable practices. We expect all colleagues to support the delivery of our Green Strategic Plan and to drive positive changes in their department.
Job overview
Would you like to join an established and high performing service, which delivers Anticoagulation treatment to patients in their own homes, community based settings and the acute hospital? This is an exciting new role within the service as Clinical Lead. You will work within the Community Medicine Directorate of the Primary Care Communities and Therapies group, which is a dynamic, forward thinking, and supportive team.
This opportunity is ideal for an individual who aspires to broaden their knowledge and skills as they will be given the opportunity to support in re-designing the Anticoagulation service. As Clinical Lead, you will work alongside the Haematology consultant and wider team to implement and embed new service developments, service promotion, development of new pathways and policies to improve quality and safety by streamlining the inpatient and community outpatient care, collaboratively working with the wider teams to improve patients' clinical outcomes and length of stay in an acute hospital bed.
Main duties of the job
* Participate, drive, and contribute to continuous service improvement and development.
* Lead quality improvement projects to ensure the agendas for the service are achieved and maintained.
* Demonstrate leadership, flexibility, and the ability to support junior members of the team, while building strong working relationships.
* Actively promote excellent and collaborative teamwork across the multidisciplinary team with outcomes aimed at the best interests of the patients.
* Maintain a high level of clinical practice within the service.
* Ensure there is an embedded clinical governance framework across the service and compliance with reports and audits.
Working for our organisation
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continue your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
