NHS South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group
Number of member GP practices: 33
Population represented: 278,000
Chair: Dr David Spraggett
Chief Officer: Gillian Entwistle

From April 2013, groups of General Practitioners known as NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have been commissioning health services for their local populations. Commissioning health services involves identifying the health needs of the population and ‘buying’ the appropriate high quality services necessary to meet these needs within the budget allocated.

CCGs are membership organisations and therefore member GP practices will be central to our work as NHS South Warwickshire CCG.

The function of NHS South Warwickshire CCG is to commission health services needed by the population of South Warwickshire: to assess needs, prioritise and undertake the design and redesign of the new and existing health services, to recommend their procurement by NHS Warwickshire, to manage the indicative commissioning and prescribing budgets of our member practices, and to drive, monitor and govern the whole commissioning process in South Warwickshire.

Committed to driving up sustainable and quality healthcare services that are tailored to their patients, a key area of focus for us is care of the frail elderly – a group that makes up a large proportion of the South Warwickshire population.

Caring for this particular group will involve vital links with secondary and social care. We have already developed close links with Warwickshire County Council and are building the positive relationship that will be the foundation for the joint approach to health and social care services that we will provide to the people of South Warwickshire.

We are also committed to patient involvement and have made great strides in developing a network to involve patients and the public in commissioning.

South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group presently has no vacancies listed in our database.

Registered Nurse

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they’re likely to die from.

We believe that everyone affected by dying, death and bereavement deserves the best possible experience reflecting what is most important to them.

Marie Curie, in partnership with University Hospitals Plymouth, is introducing a new service model aimed at enhancing end-of-life care, with a special focus on identifying patients who are approaching the end of their lives.

This innovative service focuses on four key areas:

· Delivering hands-on care and emotional support to patients and their families in the Emergency Department

· Proactively identifying and assisting those nearing the end of life within the acute hospital, ensuring timely transfers to their preferred place of care

· Offering specialised care within Mount Gould Community Hospital

· Engaging a dedicated team of volunteers to provide companionship and advance care planning.

This is an exciting time to be joining us as a Registered Nurse, where you will play a crucial role in achieving these outcomes and making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families.
