The ‘portability agreement’ supports the effective temporary movement of staff between organisations across the North East and North Cumbria.
All Foundation Trusts in the region have signed up with the aim of cutting down on the usual lengthy recruitment timelines and support operational service delivery.
On the latest episode of Providers Podcast we're joined by Terry Phillips who is the Clinical Network Manager of the North East and North Cumbria Congenital Heart Disease Network as well as County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust’s General Manager of Children and Young People's Service, Julie Southern.
Terry and Julie discuss how they used the 'portability agreement' and why there was a need to do so whilst also talking about how their departments/networks benefited and the challenges they faced.
