Description

Neonatal care in England is organised into Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs). ODNs coordinate care across multiple pathways and geographies to ensure access to high quality specialist services.

London has the highest birth rate nationally and one of the most diverse and complex population groups in the U.K.

These challenges present an opportunity to support organisations, clinicians and parents by providing access to specialist resources and expertise, coordinating patient pathways and developing evidence-based guidance to standardise practice.

The ODN works closely with NHS England and Improvement and brings together specialist neonatal providers, healthcare professionals and neonatal service users and their families to operationalise national policy across complex pathways of care to improve patient care and experience, and help shape future services in the capital.

The London Neonatal Operational Delivery Network is hosted by the Evelina London Children's Hospital, part of the Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Network to lead on a discreet piece of work relating to the specialist education for neonatal nurses across the Capital.

The role will be expected to liaise with key stakeholders external to the Trust in the development, delivery and sustainability of an accelerated QIS education programme, supporting the ODN's education agenda.

The role of Education Facilitator will lead on specialist education projects across the region; planning and delivering a bespoke model of education in collaboration with ODN stakeholders and Higher Education Institutes (HEI's).

The post holder will support and deliver a sustainable and quality assured enhanced training program for London's nursing workforce, in order to promote best practice, high quality nursing expertise and knowledge.

The post holder will actively co-ordinate, promote and deliver an accelerated QIS course for nursing staff across the Network and be an effective role model for best practice.

The post holder will work alongside Trust based practice educator colleagues and the ODN's Education and Workforce Lead, in order to ensure equity of learning opportunities and develop a programme of education and training to ensure a unified approach and delivery for neonatal enhanced education.
