Hiring: Primary Care GP in Lewes

Brighton | 46 sessions per week | £84,660 per annum based on 6 sessions

Help shape how primary care is delivered in your Brighton community. At IC24, we're building something ambitious in Brighton - and we're looking for GPs who want to help shape it.

Over the last two years, our Brighton practices have been on a significant transformation journey. We've made substantial changes to the way we work and are now bringing our Sussex practices much closer together, creating stronger links between teams and sharing expertise, resources and support across our services.

We're now taking the next step. Allied Medical Practice, Church Surgery and School House Surgery are coming together as part of a wider vision for primary care in Brighton, with plans to move into purpose-built practices next year. This will give us the capacity to significantly grow our patient population and create a modern, sustainable primary care service for the future.

We're looking for Primary Care GPs who want to be part of that journey. This isn't simply an opportunity to walk into a finished model and deliver the same clinics in the same way year after year. It's an opportunity to bring your clinical experience, ideas and judgement to a service that is evolving - and help shape what it becomes. If you enjoy improving things, working collaboratively and having a genuine influence on the way care is delivered, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll focus on:

• Delivering high-quality General Practice: You'll provide comprehensive primary care through face-to-face and virtual consultations, clinical administration and home visits where appropriate. You'll have the clinical autonomy to manage your patients effectively, while being part of a supportive team that values good medicine and good patient care.
• Building relationships with your patients: We're looking for GPs who value continuity, take the time to understand their patients and enjoy the breadth and variety that General Practice offers. You'll care for a diverse population with a wide range of clinical, psychological and social needs.
• Working as part of a multidisciplinary team: You'll work alongside experienced GPs, Practice Nurses, pharmacists and the wider multidisciplinary team. We're increasingly connecting our Brighton practices and wider Sussex primary care services, creating opportunities to share expertise, learn from one another and provide more joined-up care.
• Bringing your clinical interests: Our practices support a broad range of clinical needs, including long-term conditions, mental health, sexual health, HIV care and women's health. We're particularly interested in hearing from GPs with experience or a clinical interest in Women's Health, but we're equally interested in what you can bring to the wider service. We want our GPs to be able to develop areas of interest and use their expertise to benefit both patients and colleagues.
• Improving the way we deliver care: This is where your influence can really make a difference. As our services develop, there will be opportunities to contribute to quality improvement, clinical audits, health promotion, QOF, locally commissioned services and service development. We're looking for people who don't just identify what isn't working but are interested in working out how to make it better.
• Helping shape the future of the practices: We're ambitious about what our Brighton services can become. You'll have opportunities to work with clinical and operational colleagues to develop new ways of working, improve patient pathways and help shape the model of care as our practices grow. You won't be expected to simply fit into the way things have always been done. We want you to bring your experience, challenge constructively, share ideas and help us build a service that works better for patients and clinicians.

This is a role for a GP who likes to build. We're deliberately looking for people who are comfortable with change and motivated by improvement. You may be at your best when: You're given a challenge and enjoy finding a solution. You like having a voice in how a service develops. You're comfortable when not everything is perfect yet. You enjoy working collaboratively rather than operating in isolation. You can adapt when priorities, processes or services change. You see opportunities where others see problems. You enjoy sharing your experience and learning from others. You care about the wider patient population, not just the individual consultation. You want to leave a service better than you found it.
