Job overview
Darzi Fellowship - Reducing avoidable emergency admissions
“Applicants are welcome from other clinical roles, including other medical, nursing and allied health roles with relevant experience, and final salary agreed will reflect recent experience”
The Darzi Fellowship Clinical Leadership Programme is designed to build the training and development of senior clinical leaders. It entails a 12-month Fellowship Challenge alongside a PGCert Leadership in Health (Darzi) over the course of the 2024/25 academic year. The programme offers Fellows a unique opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for their future roles as clinical leaders. It creates opportunities to work with medical directors (or equivalent) and lead the development of service changes and quality. We welcome applications from experienced and dedicated clinicians who have a proved interest in education and multi-disciplinary learning. The Darzi Fellowship is considered a prestigious post and is highly recommended for aspiring clinical leaders.
The appointed Fellow will be based within LNWH Trust based at Northwick Hospital but working across Ealing Hospital and Central Middlesex Hospital. They will also have support from the local Trust Transformation Team and links to local community teams and partners.
Main duties of the job
You will support the Trust innovate and expand interventions, partnerships and system wide ways of working that help reduce and prevent the total number of emergency attendances and admissions at LNWH.
Northwick Park Hospital is one of the busiest EDs in the country and gets more ambulances per day than any other London hospital. Ealing Hospital is busy and provides a vital emergency service in the heart of North West London. Our patients and our staff tell us, and our analysis of our data demonstrates that we have people who seek emergency care every day who did not need to. We want to change how we are working to improve the quality of care, reduce waiting times and help our resources to be targeted at those who need help most.
The appointed Fellow will be based within LNWH Trust in the Emergency Department. They will also have support from the local Trust Transformation Team and links to local community partner teams.
This challenge will require cross-sector scoping work to build up a picture of the current system, identify what works and discover what needs to be improved to provide a high-quality service for patients. The Fellow will need to work in collaboration with patients, their families, colleagues at LNWH and other partners who have experience of emergency care and what causes people to seek support.
Working for our organisation
London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWH) cares for the people of Brent, Ealing, Harrow and beyond. Our vision is to put Quality at our HEART.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Fellow will be an important member of teams across the Trust addressing challenges with the pathway, including: Emergency Departments at Northwick Park and Ealing Hospitals; Urgent Treatment Centres at Northwick, Ealing and Central Middlesex Hospitals; Same Day Emergency Care units; acute admission units; and partners in the community including primary care, London Ambulance Service, mental health, community health, social care and the voluntary sector. Their work will take them far beyond these clinical specialties and partners, to meet stakeholders from across the breadth of the health and care system.
The fellow will scope, design and aim to deliver interventions that improve outcomes and experience of care, making sure it is appropriate and sustainable within the context of the Trust, its partner organisations and local service user populations. It is an area that can directly impact health inequalities.
This truly is a challenging problem, it is highly contextual, multi-stakeholder, and has no single definitive solution. Nonetheless, the fellow will be working within a context of national quality standards and guidelines (including NICE).
There will be the opportunity to work clinical sessions in the emergency department a maximum of one day a week. This will provide important, first-hand exposure to the local medical environment and processes which patients experience.
Applications are welcomed from medical and clinical professionals as set out in the person specification. The post may be of particular interest to trainees or professionals from, or with an interest in, emergency medicine.
