As the Business Manager for the Chief Executive and Executive Team of GPs I provided direct guidance and support during the transition and formation of the new organisation. Following my enrolment on the NHS Emerging Leaders programme I exceeded target savings through engaging members and improving communications. I worked closely with Business Intelligence and Finance to design a system which shared performance data in a way which was user friendly to project leads and gave the Executive Team visibility of performance against targets and was responsible for embedding the new system throughout the organisation.
