International & Private Care (I&PC) at Great Ormond Street Hospital provides tertiary and quaternary specialist care to children from over 90 countries each year as well as UK private patients. The patients attending I&PC often cannot access the complex treatment and care they require in their home country and are funded by their government, employer, or insurance, to access care in I&PC.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the postholder will provide strategic leadership to existing and new international activities within GOSH, with a primary focus on the delivery of a high performing and financially successful private patient business.
The postholder will be responsible for the provision of a responsive service in our purpose built Octav Botnar Wing at Great Ormond Street. International and Private Care (I&PC) treats and cares for children with an unrivalled range of medical and surgical conditions including haematology/oncology, immunology, neurology, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, ENT, metabolic, and nephro-urology disorders.
I&PC has extensive links with many of the Gulf States and has an overseas office in United Arab Emirates through which our network is maintained and developed. The office helps smooth the process for admission to I&PC at GOSH as well as provide follow-up support to patients, and their families once they have returned home.
