Duration 3 years: 2024 to 2027


The NAHP sub-committee was established to raise the profile of cardiothoracic NAHPs – nurses, SCPs, perfusionists, and AHPs – within the SCTS, the specialty of cardiothoracic surgery, and the wider surgical and NAHP community. The sub-committee aims to improve communication between cardiothoracic units and promote and share service improvements and new ways of working, thereby supporting the SCTS in improving the quality of care.

The NAHP leads will represent the sub-committee on the SCTS sub-committee in achieving its aims including:

  • To increase NAHP membership of the SCTS;
  • To plan the Cardiothoracic NAHP Forum at the SCTS Annual Meeting with the NAHP meeting lead;
  • To develop the NAHP educational portfolio in collaboration with SCTS Education NAHP lead;
  • To maintain the NAHP section of the SCTS website;

The NAHP sub-committee leads should be an established (longer than 5 years) NAHP member of the SCTS with more than 5 years’ post-qualification experience within cardiothoracic surgery and their relevant professional registration.

The successful applicant would demonstrate good leadership, communication, and negotiating skills and have a detailed knowledge of the current organisation of healthcare and guideline and policy development.

The successful candidate will start in post from August 2024 for three years with a transition period of mentorship from the current NAHP leads.

The regular commitment includes quarterly meetings with twelve NAHP sub-leads, SCTS sub-committee meetings and the Annual Meeting.

For further information and informal discussions, please contact Ms Amanda Walthew, NAHP Co-chair (amanda.walthew@lhch.nhs.uk), Mr Sri Rathinam, NAHP Executive Co-chair, or Mr Narain Moorjani, SCTS President
