This will include identifying system improvements, pathway improvements and training needs.

The Clinical Lead will be responsible for working with external stakeholders of the South West London service including the CCG Clinical Governance / Quality Leads to ensure that there is effective integrated governance.

They will work with NHS England, Health Education England, local commissioners, clinical advisory groups and external stakeholders on developing, reviewing and maintaining patient pathways that are deliverable through the urgent care services. They will work with the same stakeholders to demonstrate the performance of the service and be responsible for directing change where required back into the urgent care services in response to service changes, patient and professional feedback and for performance improvement.

They will promote and support the urgent care service clinical audits at both a local and central level. This may involve carrying out audits, writing reports and making recommendations to enhance the service provided to patients. They will lead on local complaints and incidents.

The role operates as part of the regional structure supported by the Service Manager and Regional Medical Director. The Urgent Care Clinical Lead reports to the Regional Medical Director and is professionally accountable to the Chief Medical Officer.
