Description

NHS England is now recruiting for a National Speciality Advisor - Obstetrics / Public Health to join our existing cohort.

In March 2023, NHS England published the Three-Year Delivery Plan for Maternity and Neonatal Services. This aims to improve the safety of maternity and neonatal care, make it more personalised and more equitable.

It incorporates actions to implement the reports by Donna Ockenden on Shrewsbury and Telford, and Bill Kirkup on East Kent.

The national safety ambition is to halve the 2010 rates of stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths and brain injuries in babies occurring during or soon after birth by 2025.

The ambition also includes reducing the rate of pre-term births from 8% to 6%.

Our NSAs are experienced obstetricians who, in addition to their clinical practice in the NHS, have a general responsibility for supporting the National Clinical Director for Maternity with discharging their role and responsibilities through:
Collaborative working with programme SROs, and other clinical leads across the organisation (e.g. GIRFT clinical leads, WTE leads and NHS Impact programmes) in their speciality area to ensure that all work programmes are aligned with national policy and strategy.

Being a valuable source of knowledge on the latest scientific advances and provide clinical expertise on cross cutting themes including digital healthcare, innovation and tackling health inequalities within the field.

Collaborative working with other stakeholders in developing and delivering the programme's ambitions, improving the quality and value of healthcare services and ensuring programmes are clinically focused and credible.

Providing advice and insight to support and promote integrated care which is based on the needs of particular population groups.

In April 2023, NHS England, NHS Digital, and Health Education England merged to create a new, single organisation to lead the NHS in England.

This new NHS England is designed to create a simpler, smaller, high performing, organisation that leads the NHS more effectively and is a better place to work.
