Welcome letter from our Chief Executive
Thank you for your interest in the Programme Director, Strategic Estates role. The JPUH is a vibrant university hospital providing the best possible care to a population of 250,000 residents across Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Waveney, as well as to the many visitors who come to this part of East Anglia. Ensuring our patients are central to everything we do is our priority. Our vision is to be outstanding in everything we do. This is a hugely exciting time to join us and lead the development of the Trust’s new health campus, which will enable future sustainable health and care services for people across Norfolk and Waveney. The Norfolk and Waveney Health and Care Partnership is at a pivotal point in its development and the partnership aspires to achieve Integrated Care System (ICS) status in autumn 2020. JPUH is a partner organisation within our Health and Care partnership and so the role will need to establish and maintain strong links with the wider health economy. Extensive collaboration, interaction and co-operation with our partners will also be required to ensure widest possible system benefits are realised through current and future investments. Named after the famed surgeon, The James Paget Hospital officially opened on 21 July 1982. The main hospital site was designed and built c. four decades ago and with sustained increases of demand in services across the region and an aging estate it is crucial that a new health campus is delivered to support the healthcare needs of the region. The Trust has been selected under the Government’s £13bn Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) to develop plans for the new health campus and the Programme Director will work closely with the Director of Finance to lead programme strategy and business case development before going on to lead on the delivery of the programme. Working with our health and care partners, the role offers a fantastic opportunity to lead the development and delivery of a health campus that will provide a legacy of hugely important public health, social, educational and economic benefits to current and future generations across the region.
As an anchor organisation at the heart of our local community, we will need to ensure that the patient voice and extensive stakeholder engagement are fully reflected upon to inform the design of the health campus. The development of the new health campus comes after a period of continuous improvement at the James Paget. Our hospital is rated ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we continue to enhance our services to patients - a tremendous achievement against a backdrop of ever-increasing patient demand. The foundations of this success are our staff, who are dedicated to their patients and are truly ‘Proud of the Paget.’ We celebrate them through monthly and annual staff awards, recognise their long service – and are committed to ensuring that they are actively involved in developments at our hospital, through our ambitious engagement agenda. Every year, staff from across the hospital receive national awards and recognition for the high quality of their work; for example, we’ve won a Nursing Times award for best workplace for learning and development; our Paget Health Academy now provides the model for similar schemes nationwide; and our research team plays a key role in global programmes to find treatments for a range of diseases, including COVID-19. Our Board comprises a dynamic and skilful team of Executive and Non- Executive Directors from a range of backgrounds. We are continually seeking improvements to ensure that patients and staff have the most positive experience possible when they are here. We are a learning organization, committed to continuous improvement and taking on board the comments made by any external assessment to further strengthen services. Our longer-term strategy is supported by our Clinical Strategy, People Strategy and Quality Improvement Strategy. Trust values are the guiding principles for the way we behave, and they underpin the work that we all do – whatever our role and whoever we come into contact with. Anna Hills Chief Executive
