Knowledge Manager - Emergency Services Collaborative- Ref SM22 Circa L25,000 Full time, fixed term contract or secondment Main base at Strategic Health Authority Reforming Emergency Care sets out a clear vision and framework for the development of consistently high quality emergency services. It proposes that Emergency Service Collaboratives, should be established to "cascade knowledge and to spread best practice throughout the service." Within the SHA area, emergency care has been identified as a key priority area in various key strategy and policy areas, including the Local Delivery Plan, the SHA Modernisation strategy and in the development of clinical networks. The main aim of this project is to support staff involved in the Emergency Services Collaborative in its aim of "supporting local teams in the NHS in making improvements in their organisations by looking at how they work, making changes to benefit patients and learning from others". This will be done by using knowledge management techniques to support learning; knowledge sharing; promoting best practice; developing care pathways and re-designing services. The project would aim to ensure that all members of the Collaborative have easy and rapid access to relevant knowledge, integrated from research, experience and data. The SHA is seeking to recruit a Knowledge Manager to manage and support this work. We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced innovator who relishes a challenge, and who has experience of using and managing information within the NHS. This post will require energy, commitment and an ability to develop quickly and work flexibly. The post will be based initially at the Health Authority's HQ, Newcastle General Hospital but we expect to move to Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne in Autumn 2003. ************************************************************************************************ For a Job Pack please visit www.ntwha.nhs.uk <http://www.ntwha.nhs.uk> or call Human Resources on 0191 256 3330.
