The post- holder will:

•support the Adult safeguarding services to create and implement a Safeguarding Adult Protection Pathway with Forensic Medical guidance

•promote safe, effective clinical practice, like a Child Protection Medical, to address when harm or abuse is thought to have occurred to an adult with existing care and support needs.

•work with patients to improve patient experience with expert clinical assessment skills and appropriate escalation and referral

•tackle Health Inequalities by prioritising most at risk patients (e.g. Learning disabilities and autism, mental health, older people) for a gold standard care pathway

 

The project will involve:

Specific – designing clear guidance for clinicians to holistically assess, investigate and treat adults who may have been abused or harmed, and are unable to communicate their own clinical history independently.

Measurable – implementing the pathway across the Trust via the policy and procedures network.

Achievable - using existing pathways, evolving evidence based national research and quality improvement processes.

Realistic – adults with care and support needs living with communication challenges, may be unable to give a collateral history of events leading to their admission. Using the guidance, clinicians must holistically assess and will be guided to early recognition of potential safeguarding incidents and decide if there is a potential criminal process.

Cultural change requires collaborative working across professional boundaries and innovative solutions to result in improvement. For the CLF to be able to tackle these, they will develop skills in collaborative leadership, influencing and systems thinking. They will develop innovative thinking, find new and inspiring ways to engage professionals at all levels and seek to understand the barriers to improvement. The fellow will be supported by senior leaders such as the Medical Director of Improvement, and the Kaizen Promotion Office (KPO).

 

The fellow will have autonomy to adapt and expand projects linked to their needs. The CLF will undertake their project whilst learning and implementing improvement methodology, using data to drive change and trialling small changes which can be scaled up to lead to sustainable change.'

This fellowship will align with the multi-professional improvement project of the creation of a Research Careers Development Office (RCDO). The Research and Innovation (R&I) team, Library and Knowledge Services (LKS), Kaiser Promotion Office (KPO) team, the Audit team and Medical Education team are in the process of establishing a Repository to house the publication output by LTHT staff. We expect that all our current peer reviewed publications will be lodged within the Repository. However, there is a desire from both strategic and operational directions within LTHT that we publish the outputs and share impact of audit, improvement and small research projects, maximising the impact of sharing and learning gained from such work. The Repository would meet this need, however in order to assure good quality, robustness and authenticity of potential ‘internal’ publication submissions, it is essential to establish a clear, robust, fair and kind peer review process that will support authors to produce the best possible quality publication ( an important strand within the LTHT learning, education and training strategy). The resulting process will: support and develop our staff, open a window to the world displaying the excellent work that improves patient care produced by our staff.

This specific project offers an opportunity to innovate and integrate interprofessional education for the medical, MAPS and Advanced Practice workforces across LTHT. The fellow will need to scope and consider approaches for shared education, learning from other professions and networking. The project will consider the potential opportunities to develop a programme together, alongside the value of a shared forum to build relationships and understanding, reducing workforce tensions.

 

Objectives:

To enhance interprofessional learning and team working culture, improving workforce integration.

To improve the provision of CPD for these staff groups.

To reduce duplication of education provision.

To gain better understanding and insights to each other’s roles and their role within the clinical team.

To optimise the strength of a diverse workforce and learn from each other’s different perspectives.

Reduce incivility.

 

The fellow will explore the education and CPD needs of the diverse groups of junior medical staff, MAPs and ACPs, liaising with workforce leads within LTHT and across the WYAAT organisations. They will consider educational approaches alongside the value and impact of forums, communities of practice and networks to promote interprofessional education and improve workforce integration.

This project contributes to the 7 annual commitments, aiming to improve staff retention by providing education for personal development and networking opportunities. It will also contribute to the innovation commitment by developing new ways to learn together as a transformative workforce which may in turn contribute to further research outcomes regarding the workforce benefits.

The project aligns with the LTHT Education Strategy, the APMAP Strategy and the Long-Term Workforce Plan giving the CLF multiple opportunities to implement strategy and policy within clinical practice.

This project provides the opportunity to lead across professional boundaries and the healthcare system. It is especially challenging due to the complexity and diversity of the medical, AP and MAPs workforces alongside the need for multi-agency partnership working.

The project will require significant leadership skills to drive and deliver, including extensive stakeholder management, influencing and negotiation skills, collaborating across LTHT and the system.

 

The fellow will be supported by their supervisors to identify and access key leaders and stakeholders including HEIs, medical and professional education teams as needed. The fellow will have regular supervisor contact and supervisor meetings to review and discuss aspects of the project. The supervisor will act as a conduit to support connections and facilitate the CLF to develop their leadership skills within LTHT and across the system whilst promoting the CLF to own and direct the project.

 

The CLF will work with junior doctors, APs and MAPs within the organisation, all professional leads including the Trust Lead PA, Organisational Lead Advanced Practitioner, Associate Medical Director for Workforce, General Manager for the Medical Directorate, and the Deputy CMO who is close to this work. There will also be opportunities to develop system leadership skills by working alongside relevant NHSE personnel, the NEY Advancing Practice Faculty, leaders for these workforces across the WYAAT organisations and ICB workforce transformation leaders.

 

The project will give the CLF autonomy to develop their own leadership style, apply learning from academia and access key senior leaders and senior management to evolve their own leadership skills and enhance their leadership journey. The CLF will be encouraged to link with LETC and the APMAP Steering Group specifically, engaging members and relevant stakeholders to support the development of this work. This is a multi-professional role with a huge opportunity for inter-disciplinary learning.

This is a great opportunity for a CLF to achieve exposure to strategic leadership, systems thinking and continuous improvement, influencing interprofessional education and workforce integration across LTHT and networking with professional leaders.

Commercial determinants of health (CDOH) describe how industry affects health, including harm from consuming tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy food, and from gambling and fossil fuel industries. Health inequalities are exacerbated as more deprived communities experience the most related harm. This post’s aim (alongside the Fellow's development) is to improve population health and reduce health inequalities by increasing understanding of, and drive collaborative action to address, CDOH across the health and care system regionally and nationally.

 

In the context of new and emerging work programmes considering how commercial entities affect health, the Fellow will scale-up work strategically between places and regions and nationally to approach risk factor prevention in combination.

 

The Fellow will collaborate with regional and national stakeholders: ICSs, NHS England, local and regional government (including the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities), ADsPH, academia, and VCSEs e.g. ASH. The Fellow may work locally with communities to engage the public on related issues. They will work with senior leaders, and represent the region at high-level meetings.

 

The Fellow will be supported in their autonomy over project details, but potential outputs are likely to include materials and resources that support evidence based action, contributions to research, and driving progress on cross organisational activities where there are opportunities for collaboration.

Do you want to make a difference and support International Medical graduates (IMGs) new to the NHS embed into life in the UK and in NHS training more seemlessly?

International Medical Graduates form a significant part of the NHS workforce. The GMC, BMA, and Royal Colleges acknowledge the need for better support for IMGs entering the NHS. Since 2020, IMG trainees in Yorkshire and Humber have benefited from the Supported Return to Training Programme (SuppoRTT). However, there are still gaps in educators understanding of the needs of IMGs new to the NHS and there is still room for all Trusts and specialty schools to improve the support available to IMGs across the region. This one-year leadership post is a 100% non clinical post and offers the individual the opportunity to make meaningful change in this area and includes the opportunity for regular 1:1 supervision with 1 of 2 Associate Deans, involvement in a regional conference, national meetings and includes a PGcert of the future leaders choice.

Projects from previous years have included, communication course for IMGs, podcasts outlining challenges for commencing training as an IMG, virtual networking sessions , welcomING form and involvement in enhanced inductions for IMGs.

This will be an exciting opportunity for growth and personal development in leadership working with senior educators enabling the shaping of future initiatives, addressing the emerging needs of the IMG community and making a tangible difference to IMGs.

This is a one-year leadership post (flexible training options are possible, e.g., half time over two years) based in Health Education Yorkshire and the Humber (HEE YH). It is one of several Fellowships created under HEE Yorkshire and Humber. If applicable, you will be seconded on an OOPE (out of programme experience) from your speciality training programme or clinical training post. You will develop your leadership skills by networking across the region and beyond, undertaking discreet projects engaging with local and national stakeholders. The Fellowship will be aligned to the framework set out in the Healthcare Leadership Model.The GDP Fellowship program is being launched from September 2024 as a pilot program designed to support primary care GDP development over a draft 5-year program. The Fellowship program has been designed to provide flexibility in career pathways, with the aim to support clinicians working within primary care NHS dental services to enhance skills in both clinical and non-clinical domains. After the 5-year program it is expected that GDP Fellows will have attained the necessary skills to support the deployment of commissioning Level 2 services in a variety of specialities, based on both local population needs and the needs for career development of the NHS GDP. The GDP Fellowship program is being supported, through collaboration by both WTE NHSE Yorkshire and Humber and local ICB’s, with the evaluation of the program being reported directly to the DHSC.

 

This post will be focused on reviewing current dental training pathways offered in Yorkshire and Humber and how pathways could be developed/adapted to support the GDP Fellowship program. The successful applicant will work with both Educational leads (WTE NHSE) and key stake holders (Humber and North Yorkshire ICB) in the development and eventual evaluation of the GDP Fellowship program, with the aim to provide transferrable outcomes from both existing WTE NHSE training pathways and the GDP Fellowship program.

 

It is anticpated that the GDP Fellowship program would not only support the practical day-to-day support and development of NHS GDPs, but potentially develop and inform flexible training pathways leading to the commissioning of Level 2/3 level services in primary dental care.

In Humber and North Yorkshire, the number of years a person lives in good health is less than the national average. To narrow this gap, we need to radically transform the way we address health and care challenges. Our Innovation, Research, and Improvement System (IRIS) is creating the conditions for bigger and bolder innovations and improvements within health and care. By supporting, enabling and connecting our integrated care system and working with leading external partners, we will secure data driven and evidence-based solutions that deliver against our Integrated Care System (ICS) joint forward plan and strategy. Our unique approach brings people together to encourage and promote innovation, research, and improvement in health and care to improve the healthy years lived by our communities.

Organisations that have a CI culture have better adaptability to change, improved learning culture, increased productivity, improved retention, employee engagement, reduced waste, and are more innovative. Being a continuous improvement organisation is intentional, it does not happen without considerable effort, it requires a central programme team to support and enable best improvement practice and culture across the organisation. There is flexibility on the specific project undertaken by the Fellow, based on the applicant's interest and experience. There will be projects aligned to 5 key themes: building a shared purpose and vision, investing in people and culture, developing leadership behaviours, building improvement capability and capacity, embedding improvement into management systems and processes.

Come and work with the School of Public Health in Yorkshire & Humber to help us make our training programmes as diverse as the communities we serve. We want to empower more people with varied experiences, backgrounds and ideas to thrive as future leaders and do our part to tackle the systematic injustices that make it harder for brilliant people to contribute as leaders.

This post will continue to implement the strategy and action plan for the School, with a focus on disability inclusion, while providing strategic support to the broader EDI programme to promote a diverse public health workforce in Yorkshire and the Humber. It will build on existing work and build networks with new and emerging partners regionally and nationally. This will further embed the work that we need to do to make a difference. There will be fantastic opportunities to develop leadership skills, with the support of an experienced supervisor and a Training Programme Director as well as the wider team within the School of Public Health and beyond.

Although we are working to develop our equality, diversity and inclusion work, we recognise that our workforce is still under-represented in people from marginalised backgrounds. We welcome applicants from these groups, and from diverse professional backgrounds to apply for this role; especially if you are committed to social justice and fairness and making a difference.

We are keen to ensure our interview processes are as accessible as possible. If there is anything we can do to support you during the application process, please do not hesitate to get in touch so we can discuss.
