Job overview
The East Midlands AHSN operates as the innovation arm of the NHS in the East Midlands. Underpinning our work are our twin commitments to involve patients, and to make sure that the needs of our diverse East Midlands communities are considered at the very heart of new innovations and service reviews. Our Patient and Public Leadership (PPL) Team is focused on embedding a robust approach to patient involvement and to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). In addition to our own projects and programmes, our team has a region-wide reputation for excellence, and we provide expertise and support for our many NHS and health and care partners. We are now seeking a new team member to join us on our journey – ensuring all our organisation’s innovation projects embed effective patient involvement and providing advice, support and expertise to our healthcare partners.
Main duties of the job
The successful post holder will have significant experience of coordinating patient and public involvement and co-production and embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion. It will specifically focus on ensuring effective delivery of EMAHSN’s Patient and Public Leadership programme - ensuring Patient and Public Involvement and Co-Production is embedded across our activities and programmes, and also providing support and expertise to our external health and care partners. It will also ensure EMAHSN embeds a robust approach to equality, diversity and inclusion through implementation of our Diversity Pledges and through production of Equality Analysis for all of our programmes, and by providing support and expertise to our external health and care partners to support internal equality, diversity and inclusion best practice.
Working for our organisation
We are one of 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) around England that operate as the innovation arm of the NHS. We bring together partners from all sectors involved in health and care including the NHS, social care and public health, patients, research, third sector and industry to identify, test and spread new technologies and better ways of working. We save the NHS money, generate economic growth, empower health and care staff, and improve lives for patients. We work closely with our health and care stakeholders to establish their priorities then provide support. As part of a national network of AHSNs, we import evidenced solutions from other AHSN regions and export our successful East Midlands programmes on a national basis. We have a range of objectives, but our overarching aim is always to make a difference for patients.
