Price list recosting: Lead a phased recosting of the private patient price list using a Pareto approach prioritised by volume/value (Ophthalmology, Cardiac and Trauma & Orthopaedics first), dependent on Executive decisions on profit margin, out-of-hours staff uplift and local theatre rates.

Self-pay pricing: Take forward the decision on self-pay pricing, correcting the current position where self-pay rates sit below insurer rates against market norms.

Insurer and referrer engagement: Lead negotiations with insurers and external referrers, develop commercial terms, SLAs and referral pathways to secure sustainable income streams.

Billing and recovery: Oversee selection and implementation of electronic billing/invoicing systems and processes to maximise coding accuracy, charge capture and timely recovery.

Capacity planning: Lead demand and capacity modelling for theatres, wards and outpatient clinics, design scheduling, booking and waiting-list processes to optimise utilisation and minimise impact on NHS services.

Capacity ring-fencing: Scope options for ring-fenced weekend and out-of-hours theatre, outpatient and recovery bed capacity at both sites, seeking Executive approval to formally designate this as private capacity.

Operational readiness: Coordinate estates, digital, workforce, procurement and clinical governance inputs to ensure facilities, systems and staff are ready for go-live, including mobilisation of a Walsall private patient offer where no current infrastructure or team exists.

Standard operating procedures: Ensure SOPs, escalation routes, consent and information governance arrangements are in place for private patient activity.

4. Programme Delivery, Governance and Assurance

Programme plan: Maintain a detailed, costed programme plan with milestones, dependencies and resource allocation, update and reforecast regularly.

Governance: Chair or represent the work stream at governance forums, provide timely highlight reports, exception reporting and evidence-based briefings to the Transformation Programme Director, the Private Patient Steering Group and senior stakeholders.

Data integrity and audit: Work with Informatics to resolve the risk of mis-flagged or double-charged private activity arising from the EPR (Blueprint) transition, prioritising correction of the process on a forward-looking basis.

Regulatory reporting compliance: Build an explicit governance requirement for PHIN (Private Healthcare Information Network) and statutory finance reporting compliance into the administrative process design.

Risk and compliance: Maintain a live risk register, ensure clinical governance, safeguarding, Overseas Visitor Policy and data protection compliance, escalate to corporate risk systems where required.

Performance dashboards: Implement KPI dashboards and reporting cadence for operational performance, income, coding accuracy and patient experience, drive continuous improvement cycles.

6. Stakeholder Engagement, Communications and Business Development

Stakeholder management: Build and sustain relationships with clinical leads, divisional teams, consultants, insurers, primary care and external referrers to secure buy-in and referral pipelines.

External benchmarking: Lead benchmarking activity against comparable providers with an established, well-functioning private patient model (prioritising comparable District General Hospital-type trusts over central London comparators), and commission market opportunity analysis to test demand in complex/high-value specialties.

Communications: Work with Communications and Digital teams to develop patient-facing materials, web presence and targeted marketing to support private patient uptake.

Business development: Identify and prioritise new commercial opportunities, service lines and partnerships to grow private income across the Group, including formal proposals for third-party use of theatre/facility space where relevant.

7. People Leadership and Capability Building

Administrative resourcing: Address the current shortfall in dedicated private patient administrative capacity, including assessing options to redeploy administrative capacity released by the AVT programme.

Equitable access to enhanced pay: Work with HR to confirm and apply a consistent policy on equal-opportunity access to enhanced private-work pay rates for staff delivering private sessions outside core hours.

Capability building: Develop team capability in programme delivery, commercial contracting, billing, overseas visitor charging and performance management.

Workforce planning: Coordinate recruitment and workforce planning for roles required to operate and sustain private patient services.

8. Integration with NHS Services and System Partners

System working: Engage with ICB, local authority and system partners to ensure private patient activity complements system priorities and does not adversely affect equitable access to NHS care.

ICS and regional liaison: Represent the Group at regional or national forums as required, sharing learning and ensuring compliance with wider system expectations.

9. Continuous Improvement and Strategic Development

Horizon scanning: Monitor national policy, regulatory changes and market developments relevant to private healthcare and commercial opportunities.
