Paediatric Clinical Lead- Respiratory Conditions

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply. Fixed term until 31/03/2026 (Review of contract) due to funding. Within the newNHS Wales Executive (the Executive), newly configured National Strategic Clinical Networks are a key component of the National Clinical Framework (NCF) model. National Strategic Clinical Networks perform the central role of the knowledge-to-practice element in the Learning Health and Care System laid out in the National Clinical Framework. Their position within the Executive enables them to play a role in fulfilling the expectations set out in the Executives Mandate and Remit Letter. National Strategic Clinical Networks replace both the former national clinical networks and major conditions implementation groups that transitioned into the Executive. They also cover some areas that have never benefited from networks or implementation groups. This model of delivery for clinical services is one of the
most important facets of health service delivery and by bringing clinical communities together, it has been shown that it is possible to develop national consensus on the transformation of specific services. By working in this way, important challenges are identified, the best solutions are developed and the whole system, local and national, pulls in the same direction and shares in the benefits. This approach results in large scale, strategic changes rather than isolated reforms that fail to spread and lead to ever greater unwarranted variation in care. National Paediatric Clinical Lead will need to be credible, leading a complex range of issues across professions. They will need to demonstrate they have experience of leading system and organisational/service change. Working to support National Strategic Clinical Network Lead for Respiratory Conditions, they will need to communicate clearly and effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders ranging from very senior government
officials, NHS Wales leadership community, NHS staff and wider stakeholders including third sector organisations.
