Job overview

Clinical and Care Professional Leads support south east London-wide and borough programmes of work, therefore, there is an expectation that you currently work within south east London, and for borough based roles, within that borough.

The UEC Transformation Programme covers a number of key work areas with the aim of ensuring an equitable offer across SEL with patients receiving safe care in the most appropriate environment without unnecessary delay. For patients who require a hospital admission we work to ensure they do not remain in a hospital bed for longer than necessary, but rather receive a safe and timely transfer of care or discharge home.

The Flow Improvement Clinical Lead for SEL is expected to work with multiple services, stakeholders and providers across the SEL footprint as well as represent the ICS at London-wide discussions. The post holder will work collaboratively with the ICB Urgent & Emergency Care team, as well as other clinical leads supporting the urgent and emergency care programmes of work.
