Resourcing – ensuring the NCPPD has appropriate financial and personnel resources to fulfil its purpose. Promoting - the implementation of the UNCRPD across cognate clinical programmes. Systems Strengthening – contributing to HSE or DoH activities that are not necessarily directly related to disability but which contribute to strengthening the health and social care system, from which people with disability may ultimately benefit. Information Exchange – informing others about NCPPD activities and being informed by others of their activities. Monitoring – noting the activities of others to ensure that such activities are taking place at a time and in a way that is appropriate to service priorities.
Supporting – providing assistance to others undertaking activities and who are in charge of them. Commissioning – in collaboration with Disability Strategy & Planning commissioning resources to support programme provision and innovation. Consultation – responding to requests for inputs from other NCPs or disability stakeholders and requesting inputs from other NCPs or disability stakeholders. Overseeing – being in charge of activities to ensure that they happen. The DAG advises the programme in its strategic approach to: The DAG has an annually rotating Chair, drawn from the DAG membership (excluding the National Programme’s Clinical Lead, Programme Manager, HSE Operations and HSE Strategy and Planning representative members). The NCPPD works closely with Operations and with Strategy and Planning, each of which are also on the DAG embracing the design-plan-operate approach. Task Groups are short-life working groups focusing on specific, confined and time-limited tasks with service user, other stakeholder and profession-specific contributors, along with co-opted members for particular expertise. There is also a nominee in each Profession Committee for Third Level, to link directly with education and training at this level. These committees (around 5-10 people providing different sub-disciplinary perspectives) are nominated by the Health and Social Care Professions (HSCP) Office, the Office of Nursing and Midwifery Services Director (ONMSD), and the National Clinical Programmes in consultation with the Office of the Chief Clinical Officer. #MAC PAPERS JOBS RALEIGH PROFESSIONAL#
The conventional Clinical Advisory Group is renamed the Disability Advisory Group (DAG – around 20 people), comprised of service users and representative groups, and multi-disciplinary professional representation with each profession being represented on the DAG by the Chair of a Profession (Specific) Committee. The reporting relationships for the NCPPD are similar to those of other clinical programmes reporting through a National Clinical Adviser and Group Lead (NCAGL) to the National Lead for Integrated Care and to the Chief Clinical Officer. The Programme Architecture (PDF, size 679KB, 1 page) Governance Structure for the National Clinical Programme for People with Disability For the 13.5% of the population in Ireland who report that they have a disability, the NCPPD seeks to support the provision of effective and efficient assessments, interventions, and supports for people with disability that are evidence-informed and context-appropriate, and are provided within a social and rights based model of disability. The NCPPD is for people with physical, sensory, cognitive, intellectual and psychosocial disabilities incorporating those with chronic illnesses or frailty and those with transitory as well as more permanent impairments.
Promote professional excellence across disciplines while enabling broad and equitable representation on an interdisciplinary advisory group. Build on the structure of Operations, Strategy & Planning, and Clinical programmes as three interdependent but distinctive legs of the service provision stool. Place the service user, their family, community and representative organisations at the centre of the programme, with decision making influence. This presented an opportunity to develop a clinical governance structure to support the design and development of a clinical programme to achieve three distinct goals: Ireland’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (UNCRPD) embraced a social and human rights-based model of service provision for people with disability, across all sectors. Under the auspices of the Chief Clinical Officer, the HSE established the National Clinical Programme for People with Disability (NCPPD) in March 2020.
