NHS England Midlands is offering a Clinical Leadership Fellowship for an enthusiastic individual wishing to develop their leadership skills and strategic knowledge across Primary & Community Care. Nursing roles remain essential in securing a sustainable workforce outside of hospital settings.

Building on the recommendations of the Sonnet Report, the fellow will work with NHSE, training hubs and ICSs  supporting the recognition of and valuing the importance of GP nursing roles. Utilisation of ARRS will be an important factor in expanding and embedding new roles within the nursing workforce, engaging and empowering practices about workforce design options suitable for the future.

The Long-Term Workforce Plan is increasing the focus on care delivery in community and out of hospital settings, with an anticipated shortfall of approximately 37,000 community nurses by 2036/2037, there will be huge implications for education and training. Estimated required growth for District Nurses, Health Visitors and School Nurses to 209% by 2031 and in primary care nurses of 200%.

The Clinical Fellow (Band 8a) will be a senior clinician and registrant who will provide leadership across the development of this work, working collaboratively with NHSE (post transition) and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC). The fellow will also work with the Regional and National Leads, as well as Service Providers in developing strategies around transforming and developing the workforce.
