The role will be the external clinical face of SNOMED CT and will develop and implement a clinical engagement strategy to support SNOMED CT development and adoption. At present this role will be recruited on a part time basis of 16 hrs a week (not 14 as was stated earlier).
THE ROLE
The Head of Clinical Engagement will be the external clinical face of SNOMED CT at conferences and other similar events, will spearhead IHTSDO’s clinical engagement agenda by developing a comprehensive clinical engagement strategy to provide high quality clinical input into the development and adoption of SNOMED CT and other IHTSDO products. Once the strategy is approved, the Head of Clinical Engagement will embark on implementation of the strategy. The role will be part time initially (16 hours per week). However, it is envisaged this area of our business will grow over time and, as such, there will be opportunity to increase involvement to the point where the role will be full time in nature.
We have detailed the full potential scope of this role but, given the part time nature of the initial appointment, there will be a discussion between the CEO and the successful candidate to agree what is achievable within a 16 hour week.
