We are excited to share we are recruiting new clinical leads for our National Heart Failure Audit (NHFA), Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit (MINAP) and National Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit (NACSA) domains.

The National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcome Research (NICOR) manages the National Cardiac Audit

Each audit is managed by a project team working in partnership with a domain clinical lead who has a
major role in the provision of expert clinical leadership and knowledge for the domain.

The domain clinical lead will provide direction, advocacy and enablement of the national cardiovascular audit programme; lead and work in collaboration with the multi-disciplinary Domain Expert Group (DEG) and will be supported by the NCAP delivery team.

The main function of the role is to provide expert clinical leadership for the NCAP to ensure there are systems in place to deliver the NCAP for NHS England. The domain clinical lead is expected to lead the domain with appropriate project management and other technical/expert support from members of the DEG. The domain clinical lead will be expected to work with a high degree of flexibility and commitment (attending regular meetings remotely or when held face to face).
