Philippa Hunt

Chief People Officer @Nhs Nottingham And Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board

Nottingham, GB

My role provides both strategic leadership for workforce across the system with accountability for internal human resources within the ICB, which serves a population of 1.1 million. I lead the performance and oversight arrangements for people issues across the system to achieve this I designed and implemented processes within our governance structure for the oversight and assurance of the workforce plans, including establishment and monitoring of ICS workforce risks. As a result of a deteriorating financial position, driven by above plan pay bill and agency costs I introduced a multi-disciplinary People Planning, Performance and Risk Steering Group. This group consists of all partner members from Workforce, Finance, Quality, and Informatics to track delivery of the system workforce plan, focusing on vacancies, bank, and agency usage/growth. I led the introduction of a suite of system workforce performance reports to inform decision making, the ICS is the only system in the Midlands the region on track to delver its workforce plan for 24/25. An important area of work is to ensure that the ICB meet their statutory equality duties in line with the Public Sector Equality Duty, WES, WDES and Gender pay. I am also the senior lead for Freedom to Speak up.I was delighted that the ICB Board endorsed the 5 year ICS People and Workforce Plan in March 2025. The Plan is the result of more than 18 months’ partnership across the ICS including with our two local authority partners, the NHS and voluntary sector to bring together the various elements of both people planning and workforce planning priorities and to fully engage and consult with stakeholders. It stays true to the Integrated Care Strategy and NHS Long Term Plan whilst taking account of social and economic changes to the environment and the impact on staff.
