NHS Lothian covers Edinburgh city, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian. We
are the second largest health system in NHS Scotland and one of only four teaching
Boards. We have strategic partnerships with local Universities, Local Authorities
and our four Integration Joint Boards. We serve a population of 900,000, providing
a range of primary, community based and acute hospital services. We also provide
regional and national services across a range of clinical specialties.
We aim to improve public health, maximise outcomes for patient experience, clinical
effectiveness and to continue to transform the way we do things, building on the
success of our approach to quality management.
We want to attract the best talent. Someone who acts with integrity and embraces
collective and compassionate leadership.
Ideally you will be an experienced Chief Executive or have worked at a similar level in
a large, complex healthcare system. You will be attuned to the demands of regulation
and public scrutiny.
You will understand how integrated health and care systems operate, but more
importantly, how the different facets of the system interrelate so innovation,
improvement and integration occur naturally. You will be recognised by your peers
for your innately collaborative leadership style and natural ability to build trust.
These important qualities will be combined with innovative strategic vision
and courage to act decisively to deliver on the Board’s operational plan and
transformation programme.
For an informal discussion, please contact elaine.watters@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk.
You must submit a CV with a supporting statement outlining the experience and leadership
competencies you will bring to the role. These should be returned to:
