The Implementation Manager will ensure that Pathfinder and resulting pathways of care are embedded in to day to day practice and understood across the organisation as necessary. The role will also assist in the development of Pathfinder within NWAS NHS Trust, including CPIs, Audit and Evaluation, and further clinical development of alternative pathway strategies.
