The EMAHSN is one of 15 AHSNs around England (the AHSN Network), we work locally with our healthcare partners to develop, test and spread solutions to health challenges - and via our national network we join forces to roll out innovations across big populations in ways never achieved before in the NHS. Reporting to the Commercial Director, this role will be responsible for developing EMAHSN's approach to digital innovation - providing advice and guidance and working with a wide range of partners locally and nationally. Key to the role will be the ability to network and build advocacy and also horizon scan for opportunities to both import technologies into our region that meet the challenges of East Midlands health and care organisations, and export 'home grown' digital and Artificial Intelligence innovations via the national network of AHSNs, building our region's reputation for cutting edge digital innovation. Whilst this is not a technical role, to be successful the post holder will need a keen interest and expert knowledge in the application of digital solutions to support health and care and the experience of supporting commercial innovators. This is a brand new role that will be at the forefront of digital innovation and is anticipated that the role will evolve to keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Full and part time working hours (minimum 22.5 hours per week) are available and this roles is offered as permanent, or as a secondment opportunity. Provisional date for interview is Friday 26 June 2020 About EMAHSN We are one of 15 AHSNs established by the NHS in 2013. We work in our local areas to identify and spread healthcare innovation - helping the NHS do things better and cheaper. This involves working as an 'honest broker' bringing together many partners across sectors: the NHS, public health, local government, universities, voluntary organisations and healthcare companies. As well as working in our own regions the 15 AHSNs collaborate as a national network to take what works best locally and quickly spread it throughout England. Based on our outstanding impacts during our first 5 year licences, the AHSNs were relicensed from April 2018 to operate as the key innovation arm of the NHS. Most AHSNs are 'hosted' within an NHS Trust. EMAHSN is hosted by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH). Whilst we are employed by NUH and follow the Trust's policies and procedures, we operate as a standalone organisation with our own work programmes and separate offices, budgets, governance arrangements, branding and visual identity.
