    The postholder will work collaboratively with their counterpart and will lead on selected portfolio areas to support delivery of the medicines optimisation and long term conditions priorities.

    About us

    The South East London Integrated Care Board (SEL ICB) brings together the health and care partners that serve our vibrant and highly diverse populations resident in the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Greenwich - our Places.

    Our partnership brings together six local authorities, over 200 general practices (operating within 35 Primary Care Networks), Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital NHS FT, King's College Hospital NHS FT, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, South London and the Maudsley Mental Health FT and Oxleas FT. It also brings together Community Pharmacists, Dentists and Optometrists with delegated commissioning arrangements in place from April 2023. Importantly, the ICB seeks to be connected to the communities we serve (circa residents) and work with the widest possible range of community, voluntary and third sector groups and organisations in each borough. The reach of our NHS provider portfolios extends beyond the borders of the ICB, across London, the south of England and nationally for some services.

    You will be joining a well established Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy system in South East London. Our approach is to work together to harness and build on our collective resources, including staff to drive change.
