About ICHP
ICHP is a partnership organisation bringing together healthcare providers and universities across North West London. We work collaboratively across our health and research ecosystem in NWL and with industry partners to deliver innovation in practice.
Our goals:
- Health: a healthier population, enabled by a systematic focus on prevention, detection and treatment of disease
- Growth: a vibrant UK economy driven by a productive population and thriving healthcare and life sciences industry
- Service: a sustainable health and care service that delivers high quality care for all citizens
Our priorities:
- Create: cultivate the best conditions for the end-to-end testing and scaling of innovation
- Advance: data-driven change, harnessing our capabilities and assets across the lifecycle
- Sustain: support our members with the problems of today, enabling an NHS Fit for the Future
- Shape: the future of health through investments in advanced technologies and funding models
Role summary
We are looking exclusively for candidates with demonstrable experience in at least one of the following areas:
Academia
- Supporting research and innovation insight, institutional networks, subject-matter authority
- Experience of using healthcare data and informatics for the benefit of research and innovation and patient care
Business / Industry experience within the health or life sciences sectors
- Supporting business development strategy, partnerships, market expansion
- Ensure ICHP’s commercial strategies and plans market-tested, financially viable, and competitively robust – whilst maintaining independent oversight
The time commitment and workload for NEDs will be approximately 12 days per year. This includes half days attending our quarterly Board meetings, plus approximately half a day preparing for each of those meetings. NEDs will be expected to attend Board meetings and the meetings of the committee of which they may become a member.
Each NED will have the opportunity to work closely with members of the ICHP Executive Team – allowing for a deeper insight into the work of ICHP and for NEDs to provide the Executive Team with the benefit of their particular expertise, experience and networks.
Non-Executive Directors should assist in developing ICHP strategy and the objectives and key performance indicators required to achieve it. They should also provide constructive challenge to the proposals brought to the Board and its committees. Crucially, a NED must balance the need to remain independent of the day-to-day operations of ICHP, with the need to maintain and display a level of knowledge that will enable them to ask perceptive and objective questions. As Board members, ICHP’s Non-Executive Directors collectively share responsibility for the overall performance and success of the organisation.
