£110k.
NHS really don't help themselves. It's possibly a valuable task (bringing a 'customer' perspective into board level), but:
- the job title!!
- the salary. £110k!!
- the language used in the description
- isn't this what any executive worth their salt on that board should be doing anyway, every single minute of their working day.
****ed.

Think I best ... err.... go for a walk ....

Lived Experience seems to be a thing these days. I didn't know, just googled it.

£50k+ a year! Maybe they could have a couple of training nurses instead?
A few on here appear well suited to the role?

What makes such positions even worse is that they don't tend to do much themselves beyond using other data to 'prove' there is a problem, and then commissioning outside bodies (at great expense) to look in to it and offer 'solutions'.

The big budget they have for that is used as justification for the salary.

I have a lot of lived experience, I could do with £50k+ per annum.


I suspect some on here have undead experience, they are a bit batty.

I would suggest that they look no further than the good people at Dorman Long & Co., however given that they no longer exist they probably don't tick the lived experience box.


I'm sure that other steel fabrication companies could build 'em a worthy structure to traverse whatever the **** it is they intend to traverse though.

And fit it with speakers so that those lifeforms that experience the crossing have their voices amplified.


Not sure why the NHS need this but they know their own needs best, I guess.

And I guess that's the problem. It depends who you ask.
The management consultants and executives might think they know best and that more of these roles are needed.
The actual medical staff most likely think the complete opposite.

I don't agree with organisations like this going on strike, but I do believe the workers deserve far better pay and to be properly resourced & administered. But I do agree 100% with their arguments that tens of millions, even billions, can be found just like that for other things, can be wasted with little apparent repurcussion, and that includes endless consultants, managers, poor systems, roles like this, etc. yet they reckon they can't find money to pay them more.

Too much of our hard earned taxes are given away to foreign countries and to sustain people who shouldn't be here.
