We are delighted to offer a Darzi Fellowship in collaboration with London South Bank University (LSBU). The Darzi Fellowship aims to develop future clinical leaders by combining work-based experience, a Fellowship Challenge and a bespoke programme of academic study leading to a PGCert Leadership in Health (Darzi) with LSBU over the 2023/24 academic year.
This is considered a prestigious post and is highly recommended for aspiring clinical leaders. Applications are welcomed from doctors in postgraduate training and other professionals as set out in the person specification who have an interest in organisational change management.
The Darzi Challenge at West London NHS Trust will be to lead a system wide review of medical out of hours on call rotas for the adult services of the Trust. You will be working with a Sponsor from our Executive Team and be supported to relate to all levels of the Trust's management structures to lead the development of a significant service and cultural change.
Main duties of the job
With Executive sponsorship & support the Darzi Fellow will lead a system wide review of medical out of hours on call rotas for the adult services of West London NHS Trust to ensure safe, timely & effective patient care, adherence with doctors' employment conditions (consultants and trainees) and the most effective & sustainable distribution of on call manpower.
You can also contribute to an agreed local leadership project aligned to service developments (eg Hospital at Night initiatives, HPBOS and Emergency Hub developments).
Opportunities exist for the Darzi Fellow to undertake up to three sessions of clinical work with relevant services. You will have access to mentorship and both local and regional training events.
All Darzi fellows participate in the PG Cert Leadership in Health Programme with LSBU which will include support through action learning sets, coaching and mentoring and a local immersion week into all facets of the health and social care system.
