3 Senior Nursing/AHP Leadership The Chief Nurse senior leadership team has undergone recent transformational change to enhance representation of the nursing and Allied Health Professional (AHP) workforce across the organisation. This includes a new Associate Chief Nurse (ACN) post for Clinical Network Services (CNS) to enable a triumvirate leadership model that mirrors CSSS. The Quality & Standards Division has been re-modelled into two key themes – Patient Experience and Patient Safety. The previous ACN for Quality & Standards has been modified and will lead the Patient Experience theme and the recently developed ACN for Infection Control & Prevention (IPC) has been enhanced to lead the Patient Safety theme (incorporating IPC). Following HEE funding we appointed the Trust’s first AHP Lead, 3 days per week for a fixed term of 12 months. The leadership team are working through options to support this post substantively. Following a successful application to NIHR/UoM we have recently appointed our first post doctoral research fellow in nursing – this is a UoM contract but the post-holder (Dr Briggs) is based in Prof Yorke’s research team Christie Patient Centred Research (CPCR). This new Honorary ACN Research post will lead the further development of clinical-academic career

pathways for nurses and AHPs at the Christie. Figure 2: Senior nursing/AHP leadership structure

4 Clinical Divisions Medical leadership of the clinical divisions has been strengthened by the appointments of the Divisional Medical Directors for CNS and CSSS. The senior divisional leadership for both divisions is a triumvirate of the Divisional Medical Director, Divisional Associate Chief Nurse and Divisional Manager.
