RM Partners is recruiting a new chair for the Palliative Care Group. This is an exciting opportunity to influence the quality and equity of palliative and end of life care services in west London.

The Palliative Care Group meets every six weeks to share experience, best practice and innovation in the delivery of services across west London, with the additional involvement of colleagues in south east London.

Over the past year the RM Partners Palliative Care Group has been developing business case information that providers can use to help them improve access to seven day specialist palliative care provision and access to enhanced end of life care provision in the community.  In addition, the group has worked with the RM Partners informatics team to develop metrics and create tailored packages for providers and commissioners from national data sets around end of life care as well as supporting the spread of tools such as the unified documentation for specialist palliative care referrals and syringe pump management.

The appointee will provide leadership for 1 Programmed Activity (equivalent of 4 hours) per week to support the group’s agenda, to chair the six-weekly meetings and up to four-monthly stakeholder events.

Recruitment is open to healthcare professionals working across north west and south west London only. Applicants are asked to submit a CV and cover letter to nneka.opute@nhs.net, and the closing date for applications is 5pm on Thursday 18 January. Interviews will be held on Monday 19 February.
