Working across clinical and organisational priorities, you'll help shape innovative, high-quality healthcare services that make a real difference to patients and communities. We're looking for someone who thrives on collaboration, embraces continuous improvement, and is passionate about delivering excellence while inspiring others.

While maintaining a clinical commitment, you'll have the opportunity to influence strategic decision-making, mentor and develop colleagues, lead quality initiatives, and champion new ways of working that enhance both patient experience and health outcomes. For a GP looking to extend their impact beyond the consulting room, this role offers the platform to lead, inspire, and help define the future of primary care within our organisation.
