You will also be supported and work collaboratively with the Associate Director of Therapies for RLHMEH, other Heads of Therapies on other Bart’s Health sites, and the Group Director of AHPs to develop and implement a wider Trust therapies workforce strategy and new AHP strategic priorities, realising opportunities for workforce development, clinical effectiveness, research, and innovation. Across North East London (NEL), there are opportunities to work strategically and collaboratively within the wider footprint and new MSK network on the vision and future for MSK services to deliver improvements in joined up capability, capacity and musculoskeletal outcomes.
