The Acute Service (within which the Diagnostics directorate sits) provides a complex range of Hospital services across the population of Greater Glasgow and Clyde we are now looking to add to the strength of our Management team through the appointment to the following key post that has arisen due to the upcoming retiral of the current post holder:
This role will report directly to the Director of Diagnostics and has responsibility for developing and implementing services across the NHSGGC Board area to ensure there is a clear focus on the delivery of a range of high quality, safe and efficient patient centered services to meet local and national targets.
The role of General Manager – DCPB/Medical Illustration is one that includes a lot of regional (and sometimes national) focus given the types of services carried out within the Directorate. As such the role would be well-suited to an individual who enjoyed strategic, as well as operational, management. The successful post-holder will be well-supported by an enthusiastic management team and a range of senior clinical staff.

This post requires strong influencing and networking qualities and you will be required to evidence experience at a senior level in operational management in a healthcare or equivalent, complex environment and will have the ability to inspire confidence and respect to lead and deliver in a politically sensitive and demanding environment. Key to the success of this role will be the ability to contribute to the development of the DCPB/Medical illustration service whilst working in collaboration with other directorates within the Health Board, as most service developments that take place within our acute hospitals will involve our DCPB/Medical illustration services in some way.
