Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
The position of Accreditation Lead will be an extremely important role within the CDC and will be supported by the Divisional Operations Manager together with the Matron overseeing the CDCs.
There is an expectation from NHSE that the CDC will be accredited, or towards the end of the accreditation process, within two years of the CDC opening. To achieve this will require a good knowledge of the accreditation process, excellent organisation skills and the ability to work well with the speciality leads.
Work is already being undertaken to support QSI accreditation in imaging and there are staff in radiology who will be able to help support this process.
Both CDCs are due to open at the end of 2024 giving the successful candidate the opportunity to be influential in the setting up of processes and procedures before the CDC opens.
The Trust operates the Q-Pulse document management system.
