The Strategic Clinical Network for Women's Health is seeking an enthusiastic health professional, to help support the Clinical Lead, to ensure the needs of the diverse women of Wales have a voice in the development of the Women's Health Plan for Wales and the Women's Health Network.
There are 1.6 million women and girls living in Wales, making up 50.7% of the population. Although women on average live longer than men, evidence has shown that those extra years are more likely to be lived in poor health. This inequality is increased when we consider deprivation, with women from ethnically diverse backgrounds more likely to live in an area of deprivation.
The Strategic Clinical Network for Women's Health is 1 of 11 Networks within the NHS Executive for Wales. The main purpose of the Clinical Networks is to enhance the quality and safety of care, leading to improved and more equitable outcomes, better access, and enhanced patient experience. Additionally, it aims to reduce variation and improve population health. The Clinical Networks will achieve these goals through strong leadership, enabling, supporting, and directing NHS Wales to transform clinical services by national priorities and care standards.
As Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion for the National Strategic Clinical Network for Women’s Health, the post holder will both work in partnership to develop and deliver the aims and objectives of the Women’s Health network as well as working in conjunction with other networks as part of the Networks and Planning Directorate of the NHS Executive
