About Us

We are a rapidly growing GP-led organisation with a mission to ensure that all patients have access to comprehensive, coordinated and continuous care within a sustainable primary care system. We appreciate that our whole primary care system is struggling, which is causing a negative effect on patient care and staff happiness. We believe that we can turn this around by reimagining how primary care is delivered from the ground up by placing a focus on data insights, technology and clinical innovation. Ultimately, we want to improve patient access, patient experience and health outcomes to significantly increase the quality of care for our patients. However, we can only build the best primary care service there is if our colleagues are happy, empowered and supported within an excellent working environment. If you believe that there are ways to drastically improve the way primary care is delivered for both patients and staff alike and you want to be a part of this; then we would love to meet you and tell you more about our plans.

Role Overview

• Provide patient education, self-management support, and follow-up care.

• Contribute to service planning and improvement initiatives.
• Support clinical audits and quality improvement projects.
• Support practice in implementing evidence-based guidelines and protocols (NICE, local policies).
• Provide clinical leadership to junior staff, nurses, or other allied health professionals.

• Use data and insights to improve patient outcomes and service efficiency.

• Maintain accurate and detailed patient records.
• Ensure compliance with data protection, clinical governance, and safeguarding policies.
• Participate in revalidation, CPD, and professional development activities.
