- Resource allocation, and procurement where required.
- Preparing reports, briefings and presentations for senior stakeholders including PHW leadership and NHS Wales boards.
- Facilitating governance meetings and steering groups, including stakeholder coordination.
- Identifying risks and implementing mitigating actions in line with prudent healthcare principles.
