Director of Elective Care (Recovery) | Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

With a focus on NOTSSCaN Division, the programme objectives are to support for a 6 - 9-month period helping deliver the NOTSSCAN element of the elective recovery plan and ensure that the governance supports timely decision making, communicates escalations rapidly and updates on progress against key milestones and KPIs. The support will add pace, coordination and broker clinical discussions so that the Divisional Directors are allowed headspace to make sure key priorities are achieved. The objectives are therefore grouped under four main areas: 1. Provide operational support as part of the divisional leadership team 2. Review recovery plans, making recommendations to the Executive team and assure the delivery against agreed trajectories seeking, where possible, to mitigate any risks associated with current recovery plans 3. Support the elimination of 65-week waits, in line with recovery plan trajectories 4. Support delivery of agreed activity plans back to required levels - performing deep dives to understand why currently lower than planned and develop recovery actions to increase value weighted activity, and ERF. The Director of Elective Care will work closely with the relevant leads to deliver the service component of the long-wait recovery plan by:

• · Representing the division with IS providers and owning the delivery of activity levels with commissioned ISPs.
• · Working with the divisional leaders to unblock any challenges that may prevent delivery of key milestones
• · Provide service leadership and identify additional actions and implement to support the recovery agenda.
• · Make sure the divisional components of the recovery plan are on track, any variation is understood in real time, to enable an agile response if required to mitigate against under delivery.
• · Escalate any concerns that will impact on the delivery of the recovery plan and be part of the solution to resolve.

Initially it is assumed this will include a rapid review of performance and whether plans are fit for purpose, focusing on what recovery plans are in place, what progress is being made, and monitoring and assurance of existing / revised plans. The role throughout this time will focus on a coaching methodology to provide additional leadership & support to the team. The necessary support for the work including BI, project management, improvement expertise and PA support will be from the existing Divisional team, and the post will be included as a Quad in all things for recovery finance, elective, activity related.
