+ Expanding pathology and diagnostic workforce, with an emphasis on skill mix.

Some key programmes are not fully established, as such, the post holder will play an important role working with Clinical Leadership (and others) to shape the development of these. They will need to demonstrate prior experience of scoping new programmes and designing delivery mechanisms. They will also need to demonstrate an ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments.
Whilst some of the programmes of work are more strategic in nature, the requirement to deliver system recovery through transformation of diagnostics services means that the role will also require the individual to be able to deliver within an operational fast paced environment.
This post will offer expertise and advice to the systems in the transformation of diagnostic services, ideally through previous experience of working in a diagnostic setting and/or related clinical/operational role in the NHS. Whilst ICS's and Networks will provide local oversight on delivery, the post will be responsible for oversight of these initiatives and ensuring alignment with regional and national ambitions. The post holder will also be required to provide practical support, with a can-do attitude and creative approaches to resolve issues identified, and deliver transformation.

The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
