Job Title
This role supports delivery of the ICB's Four Layers of Care model — the clinical model through which NHS Kent and Medway commissions and provides care across primary care, single neighbourhood, multi-neighbourhood and acute hospital settings.
The post holder will ensure quality, safety and patient experience are embedded consistently as care moves across these layers, in line with the ICB's ambition to shift activity toward proactive, community-based care.
The post holder will manage provider quality assurance and improvement at place and system level for the ICB, from a nominated portfolio, as part of a wider Quality Team.
The post will take the role of Quality Lead in the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) for Urgent and Emergency Care and Flow, which forms part of the foundation of our operating model, by promoting integrated decision-making and shared accountability. Collaboration is central to the way the ICB works across all teams and units, and this role will actively foster and enable effective partnership working across the organisation.
