Vacancy Description
University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) is one of the UK’s largest teaching Trusts responsible for managing two major hospitals in Coventry and Rugby, which between them serve a population of over a million people. The Trust was first established in 1992 and expanded to include Rugby in 1998. It is the principal teaching hospital for Warwick Medical School, who work in close partnership with the Trust to develop innovative medical education programmes and clinical research.
Every year the Trust provides more than 800,000 episodes of care to patients from across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.
The staff and patients at UHCW have much to be proud of. The Trust’s aim is to deliver high quality healthcare, in a caring and compassionate way and provide this in a convenient and supportive environment.
That’s why the Trust reviewed and updated its strategy during 2012 with a key focus on clinical engagement. The outcome is that there has been a change in approach with an emphasis on the Trust vision and mission.
The focus is on providing and improving quality of care, whilst embracing innovation to deliver improved services.We are looking for candidates who want to use their energy, skills and experience to help drive the delivery of sustainable healthcare services for the people of Coventry and Warwickshire area, and some surrounding areas.
