The National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH) was jointly established by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and University College London (UCL). For 15 years it developed clinical guidelines on mental health topics for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It now specializes in the implementation of high-quality mental health care.
This is a very exciting opportunity to work in a centre that has a world-class reputation.
The post holder will lead the delivery of a range of national quality improvement collaboratives, working with mental health trusts and health and social care services across England.
