Job description

At present, Healthcare Services is a small team with two physiotherapists and one doctor (specialist GP), with plans to recruit more.

  • Collaborate with external stakeholders, including NHS services, researchers, and others, to enhance healthcare provision for people with ME.  
  • Ensure the service complies with regulatory and safeguarding standards, including CQC requirements where applicable.  
  • Monitor and evaluate service delivery, using data-driven insights to improve clinical outcomes and patient experience.  
  • Provide expert advice on complex cases, supporting the team with clinical decision-making.  
  • Designated Safeguarding Officer for Healthcare Services.   
  • Represent Action for ME at external forums, conferences, and policy discussions.
