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.
