Information for Candidates APPOINTMENT of NON NHS Trust Non-executive Director Information for Candidates APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF WELSH AMBULANCE SERVICES NHS TRUST NHS Trust Non-executive Director Diversity Statement The Welsh Government believes that public bodies should have board members who reflect Welsh society - people from all walks of life - to help them understand people's needs and make better decisions. This is why the Welsh Government is encouraging a wide and diverse range of individuals to apply for appointments to public bodies. Applications are particularly welcome from all under-represented groups including women, people under 30 years of age, members of ethnic minorities, disabled people, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. Positive about Disability The Welsh Government operates a Positive about Disabled People scheme and welcome applications from people with disabilities. The scheme guarantees an interview to disabled people if they meet the minimum criteria for the post. The application form also enables you to detail any specific needs or equipment that you may need if invited to attend an interview. NHS Trust Non-executive Director Background and Context The Welsh Government’s vision for the NHS in Wales is “to create world-class health”. This vision is set out in Together for Health, and is based on providing more community services closer to home, alongside specialist centres of excellence, which give better results for patients. Who does what in the NHS in Wales? The Minister for Health and Social Services is responsible for all aspects of the NHS in Wales. Details of the Ministers responsibilities can be found here http://gov.wales/about/cabinet/cabinetm/markdrakeford The National Delivery Group, forms part of the Welsh Government’s Health and Social Services (HSSG) Group, and is responsible for overseeing the development and delivery of NHS services across Wales. There are seven (7) Local Health Boards (LHBs): Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University (ABMU) Aneurin Bevan University (Gwent) Betsi Cadwaladr University (North Wales) Cardiff & Vale University Cwm Taf University Hywel Dda University Powys Teaching Each LHB is responsible for delivering all NHS healthcare services within their geographical area. This includes delivering primary, community and in-hospital care services. Where appropriate LHBs also deliver specialised services to address local needs. There are three (3) NHS Trusts: Public Health Wales Velindre Welsh Ambulance Services All three have a national remit, Public Health Wales is an NHS organisation providing professionally independent public health advice and services to protect and improve the health and wellbeing of the population of Wales, Velindre NHS Trust offers specialist services in cancer care and a range of national support services and the Welsh Ambulance Services Trust for emergency services. Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust The ambulance service in Wales is currently undergoing significant transformational change following a Ministerial Review in the summer of 2013. Local Health Boards (LHBs) are now unambiguously responsible for securing the provision of an effective ambulance service, working collaboratively through a joint committee called the Emergency Ambulance Service Committee (EASC). WAST has become a provider NHS Trust Non-executive Director organisation, responsible for delivering the services required by the LHBs against a robust collaborative commissioning framework. LHBs commission ambulance services based on local need, but do so on a national basis to ensure consistency and the flexibility to adapt to changing patterns of demand and serious incident so that people in all of the communities in Wales receive an equitable level of service. Emergency ambulance services are increasingly becoming clinically focused and more firmly embedded within the wider unscheduled care system. The Minister has made it clear that this clinical vision must be supported by appropriately trained clinical staff, operating at the limits of their capacity and clinical capability. Front-line clinicians are increasingly being empowered to make treatment decisions that improve patient outcomes and reduce pressure on acute hospital services, where appropriate, by providing people with the treatment they need closer to home. The Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust currently serves a population of 2.9 million, across the whole of Wales. This is a diverse area which encompasses tranquil rural retreats, busy seaside resorts and large urban conurbations. Its varied and modern services are tailor-made for each community’s differing environmental and medical needs - from fast response cars, frontline ambulances, helicopters and nurses in its clinical contact centres. The Welsh Ambulance Service handles over 500,000 emergency calls a year and carries out more than a million non-emergency journeys, transporting 4000 patients to over 200 treatment centres throughout England and Wales. It is currently piloting an innovative clinical response model which is designed to ensure that patients receive an effective and timely response which is appropriate to their clinical needs. The service operates from 90 ambulance stations, five clinical contact centres, four office locations and five vehicle workshops. It also has its own National Training College to ensure staff maintain high levels of performance and receive regular professional development. NHS Trust Non-executive Director The role of the board The three key roles through which effective Boards demonstrate leadership within their organisations 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. (Whether or not the candidate is a Welsh speaker) Empathy towards the language and demonstrate leadership to strengthen bilingual service provision within the NHS in Wales. The role of the Board member focuses on four key areas: Strategy – to contribute to strategic development and decision-making Performance – to ensure that effective management arrangement and an effective team are in place at the top level of the organisation. To help clarify which decisions are reserved for the Board and then ensure that the rest are clearly delegated and to hold management to account for its performance in meeting agreed goals and objectives through purposeful challenge and scrutiny, and to monitor the reporting of performance Risk – to ensure that financial information is accurate and that financial controls and systems of risk management and assurance are robust and defensible Behaviour – to live up to the highest ethical standards of integrity and probity and comply fully with the Code of Conduct. Board members should demonstrate through their behaviour that they are focusing on their responsibilities to citizens, the organisations and its stakeholders Role Description This is a great opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a contribution to delivering a world class ambulance service in Wales. Non-executive Directors will: Be required to play a full and active role in the governance of the Trust, both clinical and corporate, and are expected to bring to the Board an independent judgement on issues of performance, key appointments, looking ahead and accountability; Contribute to the work of the Board based upon their independence, their past experience and knowledge, and their ability to stand back from the day to day operational management; Contribute and accept corporate decisions to ensure a joined up, robust and transparent decision making process by the Board; Be assigned to provide advice to one of the seven Local Health Boards; Be expected to attend Local Health Board meetings and to act as a powerful conduit between the boards and the service that they are, collectively, securing; Be expected, in time, to fully understand the business through active involvement to enable the effective performance of the Trust; Have a key communication and engagement role within the Trust to embed the management and cultural changes required as part of the review findings. NHS Trust Non-executive Director Work closely with other public, private and voluntary organisations and will make sure that the views of patients, carers and families are fully involved in helping to shape, develop and improve services. In addition to the above generic duties undertaken by Non-executive Directors, we are also looking for specific skills and experience which are outlined below: Role Specific Criteria For this particular appointment, there are no specific requirements in terms of previous background or experience. We are primarily looking for a highly motivated and effective team player who will add value to the current cohort of non-executive directors. However, in order to complement the existing profile, applications would be welcomed from those with:- a background in healthcare for older people or experience as a senior clinician in general practice or emergency medicine; or’ a commercial background in transport or logistics; or experience of strategic planning, particularly in a healthcare context. If your skills and life experience lie on other areas, please do not be discouraged from applying. We are looking for the right person rather than a particular career profile or set of experience.

  • Integrated Medium Term Plan Summary 2017-18
    Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Integrated Medium Term Plan Summary 2017-2018 Published: MARCH 2017 www.ambulance.wales.nhs.uk www.facebook.com/welshambulanceservice @WelshAmbulance 0 1- INTRODUCTION Welcome to the summary document of our Integrated Medium Term Plan (IMTP). We are conscious that our IMTP is a lengthy, technical document that many may not have the time to read. This summary is our way of trying to make such an important document more reader friendly. The IMTP document is a requirement of Welsh Government for all Health Boards and Trusts in NHS Wales and it sets out our direction for the next three years stating our priorities, challenges and main risks. Throughout the main plan we commit ourselves to 48 actions which can be viewed in more detail in the main IMTP. We believe our IMTP is vital for us in WAST, regardless of it being a necessity for Welsh Government, to ensure there is a clear plan in place for the organisation. In a message from the Chair and Chief Executive they have stated how reshaping an ambulance service is a long term process and therefore a need to focus on our services and how we deliver them especially as the type of patients we are seeing are changing within our ageing population. This can only be achievable with support from our partners and ensuring our teams have the right skills. We hope you find this summary a useful insight into the Trust and the work we are continuing to do to improve the quality of care we deliver to our patients.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB) welcomes the opportunity to discuss the current situation at the Emergency Department the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and the consequential development of the future model of care. 2. This briefing paper provides members of the Committee with information about the background, rationale and progress of a project instigated by the CTM UHB to consider the outstanding recommendations of the South Wales Programme (SWP) and how they should be appropriately considered and progressed in the current context. Background 3. The SWP within NHS Wales was set up in 2012 to look at the future of four consultant-led hospital services, specifically, maternity services, neonatal care, inpatient paediatric services and emergency medicine. These services were selected for consideration due to their fragility, in terms of their ability to deliver safe and sustainable models of care, as then configured. 4. The SWP was a partnership of the five health boards serving people living in South Wales and South Powys, working with the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust (WAST).

  • Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Submission
    S 52 Inquiry into Suicide Prevention Ymchwiliad i Atal Hunanladdiad Ymateb gan Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Gwasanaethau Ambiwlans Cymru Response from the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Submission: Health, Social Care and Sport Committee: Inquiry into Suicide Prevention 1. The Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust welcomes the opportunity to submit evidence to Committee on this important topic. 2. This evidence comprises two elements: a general summary of the organisation’s work in the broad realm of mental health and suicide more particularly, coupled with a detailed submission based on research by the Welsh Ambulance Service’s Head of Research and Innovation, and Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, Nigel Rees. 3. Sadly, it is not uncommon for ambulance service staff to attend incidents of suicide. It is similarly the case that attendances to patients experiencing mental distress are also rising. 4. Caring for patients with a mental health problem demands a particular set of skills which can be quite different from those required for more what might be considered as more traditional types of emergency care, for example trauma. 5. Additionally, working collaboratively with other emergency services, notably the police, and the wider NHS system is crucial in ensuring that patients receive the right service for them, and that the voices of this vulnerable group of patients are heard. 6. Importantly, the mental well-being of ambulance service staff cannot be overlooked and, as an organisation, we are committed to developing support services for colleagues in order that they have access to any support required, regardless of whether that need is the result of distress experienced as a function of their professional experiences or because of matters outside work.
