Programme Delivery Group

Home » Programme Delivery Group

The NW SDE Programme Delivery Group plays a crucial role in our governance structure, ensuring the programme and service is well-managed, meets organisational objectives and delivers value.

Where appropriate, the NW SDE Programme Delivery Group will make key recommendations, identify options or escalate to the NW SDE Sponsor Group (NW SDE’s executive decision-making group).

The Programme Delivery Group includes senior members of the NW SDE team and executive-level representatives from the region’s NHS integrated care boards (ICBs). It meets monthly for one hour and thirty minutes.

The current members of the NW SDE Programme Delivery Group are:
