primary care provider organisations from across North West London to create a
stronger, more influential voice for primary care within one of the country's
largest and most complex health systems. Collectively representing
organisations serving a population of more than two million people, the
Collaborative has been created to enable primary care to work at greater scale,
shape system strategy and deliver services differently. As Integrated Care
Systems continue to evolve and new responsibilities transfer from the
Integrated Care Board, the Collaborative will play an increasingly significant
role in supporting neighbourhood working, hosting strategic functions and
delivering services on behalf of the wider NHS. We are now seeking to appoint
our inaugural Chief Executive to help establish and lead this ambitious new
organisation at a defining moment in its development.
