Programme Director - The Independent Maternity Review
This Review was established by NHS England in May 2022, following significant concerns raised regarding the quality and safety of maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and concerns of local families
The Programme Director role has been developed to provide strategic leadership, operational oversight, and governance for NUH’s response to the multi‑disciplinary review into maternity services. Reporting to the Chief Nurse and SRO for the IMR, the Programme Director will work closely with clinical experts, families, regulators, and NHS partners to ensure the review is robust, transparent, and aligned with national standards for maternity safety.
Please see Job Description for full details.
The programme director will be responsible for ensuring that there is a robust overall strategy for the Independent Maternity Review, ensuring alignment with national maternity safety priorities. The programme director will:
Translate the review’s terms of reference into clear workstreams, milestones, and deliverables.
Provide expert advice to senior leaders, review chairs, and oversight bodies on emerging themes, risks, and opportunities.
Ensure there is robust governance and oversight for the review
Work with peers and colleagues across the organisation to support the ongoing learning and improvement within the Trust
Ensure there is robust governance and oversight for the police investigation and support the organisation to respond effectively to all enquiries from both regulators and the police.
