Are you committed to helping us regulate health and social care within England?
We are looking for individuals who are caring, demonstrate integrity, work great as part of a team and always strive for excellence in everything they do to help us make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve.
About The Role
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is commissioning an independent review of its approach to assessment of maternity services and the associated governance, leadership and assurance arrangements. The review is intended to identify good practice together with opportunities for improvement that will support CQC’s development of specialist regulatory expertise as recommended by the Amos Review. The review will be led by an experienced Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) with a background in midwifery and significant expertise in governance, regulation and assurance. The CNO will lead a small, multi-disciplinary panel, including senior clinical expertise from obstetrics. We are therefore seeking to appoint a Consultant Obstetrician to contribute to this review.
