The Deputy Heads of School will be expected to assist the Head of School in implementing national and NHS E policies in relation to the education and training of junior doctors within Medicine on whole workforce transformation and developing multi-professional links.
To support the Postgraduate Dean, Heads of Schools will work across the spectrum of health and where relevant, social care, within the context of a team, so that the provision of education reflects changing service models.
The Head of School will:
• Provide effective clinical leadership, contributing to the strategic development

We lead the NHS in England by:
• Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities

Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, leading to full integration. The aim is to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and eliminates waste.
