Patient and public voice (PPV) partners play a crucial role in specialised services and are represented throughout our boards/committees/groups to ensure that the views of patients, carers and the public are at the heart of all we do.

NHS England is committed to promoting equality and inclusion to ensure that our PPV partners reflect and represent our diverse population. We particularly encourage people from minority communities to apply.

Specialised commissioning is currently recruiting several PPV partner roles, which can be found below.

Patient and public voice (PPV) partner for the Transplant Oversight Group and National Transplant Clinical Panel

NHS England is seeking one Patient and Public Voice (PPV) Partner to join the Transplant Oversight Group (TOG) and the National Transplant Clinical Panel (NTCP). We are really keen to hear from people who have lived experience or knowledge of or interest in transplants and who can bring a broad patient perspective.

TOG is a joint group across NHS England and NHS Blood and Transplant. Its role is to provide national oversight of all solid organ transplant services in England. The group meet quarterly.

NTCP is a new joint group across NHS England and NHS Blood and Transplant. Its role is to assess quality and review outcomes, reporting and providing assurance to TOG. The group is intended to meet quarterly but in initial stages may be more frequent with an occasional requirement to stand up unscheduled short notice meetings of the group.

You will need to be able to attend approximately 12 online meetings per year (4 TOG meetings; 4 TOG pre-meets; 4 NTCP meetings) as well as read papers in advance. As the group’s work develops, there may be occasional activities outside these formal meetings.

This PPV Partner role attracts an honorarium (involvement payment), and expenses will be reimbursed.

If you would like the Terms of Reference for these groups before applying or to arrange an informal chat about this role, please email england.voice-crg@nhs.net
