Project Manager

• Dec 2016 - Mar 2017

My role was to include running the current accreditation programme whilst also putting together and implementing the new light touch version. The current programme closed to new applications in September 2016 The current programme required me to take the remaining Guidance Producers through to the Accreditation Advisory committee and then on to publication. Below are a few of the key steps which were involved: • Looking into the current processes and identifying where each application was up to. • Ensuring that everyone was kept up to date on progress. • Leasing with Guidance Producers to ensure Information was sent / received at the correct time and date. • Arranging and attending Accreditation Advisory committees including conducting pre committee meetings. • Delegate work to Technical Analysts, set deadlines and prioritise workload. • Identify External Advisers and arrange peer review of decisions. • Provide updates to NICE’s website regarding decisions and committee dates. The new process was to be a ‘light touched’ version of the current process. This required me to go through each stage of the programme, identify areas which could be taken out / reduced and lease with all members of the team to ensure that any changes made would maintain the integrity of the programme. Below are the key steps that I undertook: • Review all current information and data to ensure it was up to date and correct. • Review the current process to identify areas which could be reduced or removed from the process. • Leased with members of the Accreditation team to identify any areas of concern or which they felt where vital in ensuring the programmes integrity. • Delegate work for the new process to Technical Analysts to create new documents such as the ‘Renewals Application’. By the time I left NICE the foundations of the new programme where set, a new application form was created and a flow diagram showing the major steps ensured everyone knew how the new process would work.
