The Strategic Programmes team works across the Ipswich & East Suffolk, West Suffolk and North East Essex alliances ensuring transformational developments are in place across the Integrated Care System (ICS) footprint. The Programme supports the delivery of NHS England National priorities in the long term plan, the SNEE Joint Forward plan and aligns the approaches undertaken in each ICS Alliance. This approach enables a more patient-centred focus to develop both providers and commissioner and their relationships with one another, across all care settings (community, primary, secondary, tertiary care). Health outcomes will improve through helping commissioners reduce unwarranted variation in services and encouraging innovation to deliver effective change to health care services through greater collaboration between providers and commissioners across different levels of the health care system. The post holders may come from a variety of backgrounds, including clinical or care professional, public health, improvement, transformation or analytics. Their strength will be in enabling sound communication and guidance, bridging the gap between analytical staff and practitioners to deliver the interventions identified. The successful candidates will need to be experienced in using data, evidence and intelligence to improve services. They will be able to build relationships and translate PHM intelligence so staff can understand and apply methods and ideas, developing staff competencies in PHM. Working in partnership with commissioners (including local government) and providers the Long Term Conditions and Population Health Programme Manager will support decision making and strategic planning across organisational boundaries acting as a vehicle for improvement for patients, carers, commissioners, providers, voluntary organizations and the public in order to: Enable clinical and patient engagement: informing commissioning decisions Define and drive quality improvement: operating across complex pathways of care Coordinate and support commissioners and providers: identifying and reducing unwarranted variation, improving cohesion and ensuring sustainable services across pathways of care for staff and patients, both now and in the future.
