We have incredible people and organisations working to enable everyone to lead happy, healthy lives.
Carers, social care practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, doctors, voluntary and community sector professionals, experts by experience, allied health professionals, psychologists, healthcare scientists, physician associates, public health professionals – all are making a difference. But we face age-old challenges, from inequalities to preventable ill-health.
It’s clear no single person or organisation holds the answers. But COVID has shown that we can achieve so much when we work together – whether we plan, give or receive care and support. So we’re investing in the recruitment and development of people who can build on this momentum and work together across organisations and professions to improve health and care.
A clinical and care professional leader is someone who supports people to work together across organisations and professions to improve the health and wellbeing of people in their patch.
There is no ‘right’ sort of clinical and care professional leader. We want a health and care system that values and draws on the skills of different and unique people.
You’re likely to have some related experience. And you will be continuing to deliver care to people in South East London and registered with the appropriate professional body.
But whatever that may be – whether you’re a carer, social care practitioner, nurse, pharmacist, doctor, voluntary and community sector professional, expert by lived experience, allied health professional, psychologist, healthcare scientist, physician associate, public health professional or from another related background – you will care deeply about helping people lead happier, healthier lives.
The capabilities below are in the words of 60 south east London system leaders, drawn from a set of five emerging characteristics which they have co-designed together.
Sounds like a lot? Yes, but you’ll be supported through it.
You’ll join a growing community of system leaders who meet regularly to connect and learn and take part in more formal development activities as part of the new, South East London System Leadership Collaborative.
If you’re reading this wondering ‘is it really for me?’ please get in touch to chat. You can get in touch with the people listed below.
