3 2. Job Description Job title: Policy Manager Reporting to: Chief Executive Salary range: c. 40,000 per annum (plus 11% pension contribution) Location: Farringdon, London (with travel across the UK as necessary) Hours: Full-time: hours per week Annual leave: 29 days plus public holidays Contract: Permanent About the British Geriatrics Society: The British Geriatrics Society (BGS) is the professional body for practitioners engaged in the speciality health care of older people. Our mission is to improve the health care of older people throughout the UK. Geriatrics is the one of the largest medical specialties in the UK. The BGS has approaching 3,000 members, consisting of specialist doctors in acute and community settings, GPs, nurses, medical educationalists, researchers and allied health professionals involved in the treatment and care of older people. Much of the work of the Society is carried out by our honorary officers and other members, supported by a small secretariat consisting of ten staff members. We have an eleven-strong Trustee Board made up of clinicians in geriatric care and two lay trustees. We work across all four countries of the UK to promote better understanding of older people s health care needs; to enhance clinical quality; to promote access and opportunities for research; to encourage the sharing of best practice across relevant disciplines; and to influence health policy, standards and commissioning practice to ensure the delivery of ageappropriate services. In recent years we have successfully increased its profile with policy makers, the public and the health professions. We have pursued a policy of strategic partnerships with likeminded organisations such as other medical colleges and third sector organisations such as Age UK. The Policy Manager will support the Chief Executive in developing and building these strategic relationships. Job purpose and scope The Policy Manager will lead on raising BGS s profile and influence among decision-makers and opinion-formers across the four UK nations. A four nation approach to maximising BGS s policy influence and impact is a crucial feature of the role. The Policy Manager will professionalise and coordinate BGS s policy function, ensure that we are well positioned in relevant policy streams, and work with the Chief Executive to develop and strengthen strategic alliances. An early task will be to develop a policy strategy and plan of action. 2
4 Key aspects of the role include: Monitoring, interpreting and providing reliable analysis of emerging policy issues and trends Engaging with external stakeholders and policymakers on behalf of the BGS and its members Advocating for the specialty of geriatric medicine and promoting the BGS s views and policy positions on relevant health and social care issues Coordinating the production and delivery of timely, high-quality, specialist policy work, e.g. reports, briefings and guidance Providing support to the BGS Policy & Communications Committee and to the National Councils of all four UK nations on policy matters Evaluating the impact of major policy projects. Position in the organisation This is a key role reporting directly to the Chief Executive and working closely with him and the Communications Manager, as well as the Chair and members of BGS s Policy & Communications Committee. Currently, this post carries no line management responsibilities; no other post in the secretariat is exclusively dedicated to policy work. As part of a small central secretariat, the Policy Manager will be a self-starter, expected to work independently and with little supervision but interacting with all other members of staff and a number of honorary officers. Key duties and responsibilities Strategy and planning Working closely with the Chief Executive, develop a policy strategy to professionalise, prioritise and coordinate BGS s policy input in order to optimise its impact. Actively contribute as a key player in the development of the policy strategy, including developing and exploring potential areas of work.

Gain a full awareness of the health care policy environments in the devolved nations; proactively seek out and establish relationships with stakeholders in the devolved nations, including politicians, policymakers, commissioners and regulators, and work closely with the BGS Councils in Scotland, Wales and N Ireland to build their capacity to forge appropriate relationships, and to identify and respond effectively to the distinctive policy challenges. Organise and attend meetings with parliamentarians, civil servants and other policy influencers in all four nations. Attend and occasionally address Parliamentary events, conferences and other events as a representative of the BGS. Plan and deliver any annual party conference activity. Organise launches and other events to support BGS s policy projects. Research and writing Develop two regularly updated policy horizon scanning resources: one for trustees and the CEO, and one for BGS members to be published on our website. Identify consultations and Parliamentary Inquiries of potential interest and coordinate the preparation of evidence-based responses and submissions in collaboration with relevant BGS officers. Work with the Chief Executive and BGS officers to prepare policy position statements and other documents on a range of key topics. Research and produce Parliamentary etc. briefings and other reports for policymakers, representing the views of the BGS on topical issues relating to the health care of older people. Analyse and summarise relevant policy documents issued by Government and other organisations for BGS communication platforms and committees as appropriate. Prepare updates, articles, blogs and tweets outlining the BGS s position on policy issues for the BGS website, newsletter and blog. Source relevant case studies on policy issues. 4

10 Appendix: Our policy priorities 1. How we define policy work: Whereas practice tends to describe the treatment and care offered by clinicians to their patients, or more generally how any practitioners interact with their immediate service users, policy is at a different level, describing the broader drivers which set the framework in which practice takes place, including legislation, government direction, regulation, funding, debates, public opinion and so on. Practice is influenced by policy, and good policy is influenced by good practice. Both should be evidence-based. Issues particularly relevant to BGS, such as clinical quality, will play out in both policy and practice. Our geographical contexts are national (across all four UK nations), regional and local. Our policy work tends to be targeted at policymakers, such as ministers, parliamentarians, civil servants, regulators and other quangos, councilors etc., and policy influencers, including media, think tanks, and the public and may include any of the following: Scanning and analysing the external policy environment Identifying problems with existing or proposed policy and advocating for alternatives Advising others (policymakers, influencers, members, partners) about policy developments and their implications Generating evidence with a view to influencing policy Facilitating engagement with the policy process Acting as a bridge between policymakers and those affected Mobilising support for particular policy positions campaigning. 2. Policy audiences our priorities: UK Central Government and administrations in the devolved nations, particularly the departments responsible for health and social care Opposition and LibDem health and social care spokespeople NHS leadership and regulators, including NICE, CQC, HEE Local health and social care economies Other relevant medical societies and Royal Colleges Media Our membership The general public. 3. Policy areas/issues our priorities: While we need to be ready to react to all relevant policy agendas, over the next few years we will also endeavour to focus our policy work on the following four big themes. Note that meeting the efficiency challenge in ways which do not jeopardise standards of access, safety, treatment and care cuts across all four. a) Care for older people in hospital: In the wake of the Francis report and a number of other high profile initiatives around the care of frail older people in hospital, the BGS and geriatric medicine has an important role. The care of frail older people with complex needs is increasingly core business for acute hospitals. Our members are overseeing much of the acute care within hospitals and are also critical to delivering some of the aims of the Future Hospital Commission. Many of the issues around safety and quality of inpatient care are predominantly ones 9
11 concerning the care of our oldest inpatients and we have a key role in delivering solutions. b) Integration, community and primary care: There is major variation in rates of admission and bed occupancy of older people and also in placement into long-term care. There is growing interest in all four nations in integration, prevention, proactive care and care outside hospitals. Our members have a vital role in ensuring more older people who present at hospital are assessed and discharged promptly and that they stay no longer in acute beds than is necessary. However, they are also often system leaders collaborating closely with local partners from primary, community and social care, from the voluntary sector and from mental health services for older people. They are also often involved in intermediate care services and a growing number of geriatricians now have job plans which are substantively community-based. We also provide medical input to long-term care facilities. So BGS and geriatrics has a key policy voice across this broad agenda. c) Workforce, skills and training: Although geriatrics is the largest specialty in the Royal College of Physicians, there will never be enough geriatricians to look after all older people. Moreover the care of older people requires skilled multidisciplinary teamwork involving nurses and allied health professionals and high quality primary care. Also, other clinicians in acute hospitals often look after older people with frailty, dementia or complex co-morbidities. In addition, in order to deliver the vision of more care closer to home, we need a workforce with the right skills, training and flexibility in community settings. The BGS not only has a major role in medical workforce planning of trainees and consultants but in helping education and training for primary care clinicians, community staff, care home workers, nurses and allied health professionals, and in developing the evidence base around quality and variation in intermediate care services. It can do this partly through online resources and continuing professional development, conferences, publications and collaboration with other specialty societies. d) Showcasing, spreading and implementing best practice: There is a growing evidence base behind the clinical care of frail older people, and the care of older people with specific conditions such as falls, immobility, bone fragility, stroke, delirium, incontinence etc. There is a parallel, growing evidence base behind effective service models to deliver high quality outcomes for older people, their carers, systems and services and to help meet the efficiency challenge. The BGS has a key role in developing, publishing and showcasing the evidence for good practice, and - in conjunction with other key agencies - in highlighting effective service delivery and quality improvement models. We can also potentially use our national networks of experts and clinical leaders to assist local service leaders in implementing best practice or in peer review or challenge. 4 Principles guiding our approach: To develop our awareness of policy issues across all four UK nations, and to step up our support to national Councils in devolved nations in taking up their distinctive policy challenges; the new Policy Manager will have a key role to play here. As well as responding to relevant and important policy issues, we aim also to be 10
12 proactive, setting the agenda on issues of core concern to our members (such as patient care, and staffing and training issues). We will aim to facilitate our members engagement with national, regional and local policy issues. The new Policy Manger should develop an online horizon scanning resource within 2 years, and encourage the two-way sharing of information between the NI, Wales and Scottish Councils and the Society s head office, and between the English regions, and between the English regions and the Society s head office. 5.
