Vacancy Description
Powys Teaching Health Board Powys is one of the most rural counties in the UK. Whilst the county is approximately 25% of the landmass of Wales, it has only 5% of the population. The population in Powys is older compared to the rest of Wales and the proportion of older people is growing. The working age adult population is smaller compared to Wales and it is predicted that the number of young people and working age adults will decrease, whilst the number of older people will increase. It is predicted that there will be an 8% decline in the Powys population by 2039.
The Board The purpose of NHS Boards is to govern effectively and in doing so to build public and stakeholder confidence that their health and healthcare is in safe hands. This fundamental accountability to the public and stakeholders is delivered by building confidence: • In the quality and safety of health services. • That resources are invested in a way that delivers optimal health outcomes. • In the accessibility and responsiveness of health services. • That the public can appropriately shape health services to meet their needs. • That public money is spent in a way that is efficient and provides value for money. The three key roles through which the Board demonstrates leadership within the organisation are: • Formulating strategy. • Ensuring accountability by holding the organisation to account for the delivery of the strategy and through seeking assurance that systems of control are robust and reliable. • Shaping a positive culture for the Board and the organisation.
