  • Feb 2014 - Nov 2014

  Working on an interim project for CNCS. Led TUPE transfer project for Out of Hours 111 service. • 34 employees in scope to transfer, the roles affected were triage nurses and non-clinical call handlers. • Carried out individual consultation meetings with each employee twice, held staff briefings, which was logistically challenging because for most employees their role with CNCS was not their substantive role and only worked during the hours 18.00 to 08.00. • Many last minute changes to the project made by the commissioners. For example, it was decided that the triage nurses would be retained for re-assessment calls, 22 triage nurses were interviewed and selected over a weekend. • Carried out re-organisation of the remaining service when transfer had taken place, consulted with 47 employees which included Clinical Managers, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Health Care Assistants, non-clinical call handlers and Doctors Assistants and issued amendment to contracts to them.
