Description

The postholder will take a lead on strategic planning and programmes for the Medicines Optimisation Team.

Working closely with the Assistant Director of Medicines Optimisation and the Deputy Chief Clinical Officer and ICS Chief Pharmacist, and with the broader programme team and boroughs, the role will be key in ensuring leadership for setting the direction of specific medicine optimisation priorities for NCL, ensuring there is clear read across with Medicines Optimisation and the Population Health and Integrated Care Strategy, and with national strategy.

This role requires an individual able to think strategically about the role of medicines and pharmacy, able to influence others locally and regionally, and able to convene and deliver alongside multiple stakeholders and with constrained resources to support innovation and change.

This post is part of the NCL ICB Medicine Optimisation team within the Chief Medical Officer and Place Directorate.

Please note that priority will be given to NCL ICB employees who are affected by change.

On 1 July 2022, NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) was established. The ICB is part of North Central London Integrated Care System (ICS).

The ICS is a partnership of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives of people in our five boroughs:
Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.

ICBs are statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and allocating resources to meet the four core purposes of ICSs:

to improve outcomes in population health and healthcare

- tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
- enhance productivity and value for money
- help the NHS support broader social and economic development.

North Central London's population is incredibly diverse, and continues to grow and change.

This brings pressure and challenges for the local health and care services that NCL ICB commissions - or buys - on behalf of residents.

NCL ICB works closely with Councils, providers, general practices, voluntary, community organisations, and unions, to achieve our shared aims.

NCL ICB values our staff, our partners and their expertise to deliver the best health and care possible for the patients and residents of North Central London.
