HOW ONEROUS IS THE ROLE OF A SHL COMPANY DIRECTOR?
The directors are responsible for leading the local company. Initially the role is often more onerous; the recruitment of colleagues to undertake the activity, explaining the model and identifying opportunities within the local healthcare system for activity takes time, however, as the company becomes established and operational management support is put in place, the role is more focused on overseeing activities and supporting the Operations Manager. The directors meet as frequently as is required, usually weekly but meetings are dependent upon demand and workload. The directors will also need to ensure that information-sharing opportunities and other communications to consultants undertaking the activity are conducted, to ensure that everyone signed up to work with the subsidiary company is fully briefed and up to date.
