Clinical Director of Proactive (Urgent and Emergency Care)

NEL ICB is responsible for commissioning most health services across NEL and is accountable for NHS spend and performance, ensuring all parts of the local health system work effectively together. The ICS serves a rapidly growing population of two million people that live in North East London. Our agreed ambition as a partnership is that "We will work with and for all the people of north east London to create meaningful improvements in health, wellbeing and equity." Central to delivery of this ambition is making sure everything we do is informed by those with experience of developing and providing services and the lived experiences of patients and our populations. Expert input and leadership from front line clinical and care professionals is a fundamental ingredient to identifying effective and responsive service improvements and transformation.

These place-based partnerships bring together the NHS, local government and providers of health and social care services, including the VCSE sector, people and communities, to provide a strong understanding of what works well with and what is needed by local communities. Working together in this way brings the ability to integrate local services across health and care and the levers to tackle some of the wider determinants of health, such as housing and employment. Plans for these partnerships are rapidly developing and expected to respond differently, reflecting specific local factors and priorities. They will identify how to meet the needs of the local population better and reduce health inequalities. Many programmes of work will also continue to span the ICS and there is a key role to ensure these wider workstreams are supported by NEL level clinical and care professional leadership, working hand in hand with provider collaboratives and places. Some specialist services and providers operate at an ICS or London wide scale and connecting these together is as critical to our future success and drilling down at place. These NEL level leadership roles are also critical to ensuring consistency and equity are maintained across our system and providing a link with NHSE or wider London Networks.
