Job Overview
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM CONSULTANTS, GPS AND SAS DOCTORS CURRENTLY EMPLOYED WITHIN HYWEL DDA UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD.
The Strategic Clinical Network for Women's Health is seeking an enthusiastic health professional, to help support the Clinical Lead, to ensure the successful delivery of the Women's Health Plan for Wales.
There are 1.6 million women and girls living in Wales, making up 50.7% of the population. Although women on average live longer than men, evidence has shown that those extra years are more likely to be lived in poor health. This inequality is increased when we consider deprivation, with women from ethnically diverse backgrounds more likely to live in an area of deprivation.
The Strategic Clinical Network for Women's Health is 1 of 11 Networks within the NHS Executive for Wales. The main purpose of the Clinical Networks is to enhance the quality and safety of care, leading to improved and more equitable outcomes, better access, and enhanced patient experience. Additionally, it aims to reduce variation and improve population health.
The Clinical Networks will achieve these goals through strong leadership, enabling, supporting, and directing NHS Wales to transform clinical services by national priorities and care standards.
