Programme Director

Collaborating with joint Senior Responsible Officers (SROs), the Programme Director (PD) will play a role in leading, shaping and contributing to the implementation of the national TMSFA programme. They will maintain oversight of, and coordinate all, programme activity ensuring successful delivery of expected improvements, benefits and outcomes. 

As PD, they will partner with internal and external stakeholders to drive forward successful delivery of the national transformation programme ensuring alignment to overall objectives and priorities set by the TMSFA collaboration.  They will be the change expert, partnering with the SROs and all MS Centres, in the design and implementation of large-scale change programmes that supports the future care model, improves quality of patient care, improves patient and staff experience, enables continued cultural change, improves efficiency and productivity of clinical pathways and services.

The PD will proactively look ahead and gather relevant information to inform the future direction of the transformation effort.  They will have an external lens through which to identify national and international world class standards of healthcare and engage with others to accelerate adoption of appropriate best practice.  In doing so, they will effectively engage and involve MS experts from across the MS Centres and beyond including international MS experts and those from Pharma.  They will ensure that resources from a range of disciplines and professional areas such as clinical, operational, digital, change, communication, HR, finance and external suppliers are in place to support the transformation programme.  They will provide regular assurance to the joint SROs / Transform MS board relating to progress and outcomes to inform strategic decision making and will provide regular updates to all stakeholders to ensure there is a common understanding of progress and outcomes.
