Member of the Client Council, St. Antonius Hospital

Do you want to be involved in the future of hospital care using your own knowledge and experience?
As a member of the Client Council of the St. Antonius Hospital, you contribute to good care, with attention to the wishes and needs of patients and their loved ones.

You will be part of a committed and independent council, where people with different backgrounds and experiences come together. A wonderful opportunity to share your knowledge, get to know other perspectives, and deepen your understanding of developments within healthcare.

As a member of our dynamic Client Council, you will be part of a team that focuses on engaging healthcare-related and societal themes. You will get the chance to exert influence on care and improve the position of patients. Your talents and expertise are important to shape this movement strategically and operationally. In addition to advising and consenting on decisions of the hospital and the Coöperatief Medisch Specialistisch Bedrijf (CMSB), you can be involved in various consultative bodies within the organization. You will receive your own portfolios and the opportunity to further develop these areas.

The Client Council meets ten times a year and also meets ten times a year for internal consultation.

The Client Council is an independent advisory body dedicated to the well-being of patients, their loved ones, and the wider community in our region. We operate for both the hospital and the CMSB, in accordance with the Wet medezeggenschap cliënten zorginstellingen 2018 (Client Participation in Healthcare Institutions Act 2018).
The Client Council provides requested and unsolicited advice and consents to various policy matters. We strive to be a strategic partner for both the Board of Directors and the board of the CMSB.

Membership of the Client Council is a voluntary position for which you should account for a time commitment of 4 to 6 hours per week. The precise commitment may vary per member, depending on participation in consultative bodies and meetings within the organization.
You will receive a financial compensation appropriate for volunteer work. Additionally, if you wish, you can follow a relevant course or training that supports you in your development as a member of the Client Council.

You are involved in healthcare and find it important that the patient perspective is included in decisions. You can look at issues independently, weigh different interests, and express your opinion clearly and constructively.

For this position, we are looking for someone who:

• Has a financial or business economics background and brings knowledge of financial management, planning & control, and financial reporting within complex (healthcare) organizations.
• Is prepared to take on the financial area of focus within the Client Council.
• Has an interest in future developments within healthcare.
• Can look at the organization and its policy from the perspective of patients and their loved ones.
• Is analytical and critical, takes initiative, and engages in conversation in a pleasant manner.
• Can collaborate and communicate well with people from different disciplines and at different levels within the organization.
• Is or has been a patient at the St. Antonius Hospital.

People who interact with our care each bring their own background, experience, and perspective. We want to see that diversity reflected in our Client Council as well. Therefore, we welcome responses from people of different ages, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences. Even if you have not previously been part of a client council, we cordially invite you to respond.

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research go hand in hand. Thanks to our size, we make a real impact, but remain agile and personal.

Our clinical priorities are heart & vascular, lungs, and cancer. Additionally, we are one of the leaders in the Netherlands in the field of value-based care. This means that we do not only look at what is medically possible, but especially at what truly makes a difference for the individual patient. By structurally measuring the most important outcomes and learning together, also with the other Santeon hospitals, we make care a little bit better every day. With us, every employee, including you, makes a difference for the patient.
