Urgent Primary Care Doctor - Face to Face in Essex

Urgent care is where your clinical judgement matters most. It's where you see the full spectrum - from reassurance to escalation, from uncertainty to clarity - often within minutes. It's fast, varied, and genuinely impactful work. At IC24, we're looking for Urgent Primary Care Doctors (Face-to-Face) who want to use their skills differently - with more flexibility, broader exposure, and the support of a truly integrated urgent care system.

Urgent Care is one of the most exciting and evolving specialities in the UK. It involves the assessment and treatment of illness or injury requiring urgent medical attention, helping prevent life-threatening deterioration. Care is delivered across NHS 111 Clinical Assessment Services, out-of-hours GP services, Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs), pharmacy pathways and coordinated system responses. This role is primarily face-to-face, based in urgent care settings such as UTCs and home visiting services. It also opens the opportunity to work remotely through Clinical Assessment Services (CAS), giving you flexibility to shape a portfolio that works for you.

Main duties of the job include:

• Delivering high-quality, face-to-face care by assessing and managing patients across urgent care settings, including UTCs and home visiting.
• Making confident, timely decisions by prioritising clinical need, managing risk, and deciding the most appropriate care pathway.
• Using your full clinical skillset alongside face-to-face care, with opportunities to work in CAS, providing telephone triage and clinical advice.
• Working as part of something bigger by collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, NHS 111, ambulance services and acute trusts.
• Developing your clinical interests in areas such as frailty, end-of-life care, paediatrics, and complex acute presentations.
• Progressing your career with clear pathways into senior roles, including progression into Clinical Navigator positions.
• Enjoying flexibility with structured face-to-face base working as part of the rota, alongside opportunities to take on additional shifts.

What matters in this role:

• You enjoy the pace and variety of urgent care.
• You are confident managing uncertainty and undifferentiated presentations.
• You make clear, safe clinical decisions under pressure.
• You communicate effectively with patients and colleagues.
• You work well within multidisciplinary teams.
• You value flexibility, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Most importantly, you want to make a difference where it counts - in the moments that matter most for patients.
