About us
In
the heart of the Thames Valley is our Integrated Care Board (ICB). It covers
the geography across three counties and goes in line with the local authority
boundaries of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Reading, West Berkshire and
Wokingham. Our geography covers a population of nearly 1.8 million. While
overall in good health and socio-economic condition, alongside affluence we
have pockets of severe deprivation.
Our
constituent organisations include 175 GP surgeries, 5 local authorities, 3
acute hospital trusts, 2 mental health and community providers, 1 ambulance
trust and a single operating model across all of this, spending £2.5bn of
public money each year.
We
value and promote diversity and are committed to equality of opportunity for
all. We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the
communities they serve. We want to increase the diversity of our NHS leadership
and particularly encourage applications from women, people from black and
minority ethnic communities, LGBT communities, younger candidates and from
people with lived experience of disability, who we know are all
under-represented in these important roles.
