Department of Health, National Clinical Directors

National clinical directors and advisors are experts that each oversee the implementation of a national service framework (NSF) or major clinical or service strategy.

National Clinical Directors meet monthly along with other clinical colleagues from around the Department, to provide updates on progress of clinical workstreams and policy development, and broad clinical advice for the Department as a whole.
