Views: 740
Lincolnshire LMC is looking to recruit a Medical Director.
Applications are invited from experienced General Medical Practitioners currently working in General Practice.
Lincolnshire LMC represents approximately 500 GPs & their teams in 85 practices across Lincolnshire. These are exciting and challenging times for General Practice. The pandemic has brought dramatic change in General Practice and huge challenges still exist as we look to recover and to the future. Consequently, Lincolnshire LMC is seeing an equally unprecedented demand for our services and our offer to practices and individuals is ever expanding to meet local need.
Applicants will be required to develop a good working knowledge of the various GP/Primary Care Regulations in order to guide the LMCs members in regulatory, legal, and contractual matters as necessary. Much of this experience can be developed while undertaking the role. There will be a short handover period with the current post holder & a formal induction period. However, the most important attribute that we are looking for in a Medical Director is that of an experienced clinician who is passionate about being a GP and continues to work in General Practice, understanding the challenges faced by GP colleagues working in their practices. We are looking for a team player to work at Director level and liaise closely with Chair, Vice Chair and committee and members to deliver their agenda.
You will be required to act as a source of advice on a wide range of issues to GPs and Practice Managers seeking help from the LMC. You will develop and maintain good working relationships with the NHS England Area Teams, CCG, STP, ICS, local authorities and other local, regional and national organisations as appropriate, in order to reflect the collective views and opinions of the LMC.
The appointee will be expected to continue clinical work as a General Medical Practitioner. The successful applicant will work as part of a close knit team with a collaborative, supportive approach and a history of strong working relationships. The Medical Director post is for two days per week & the successful candidate will be require to work for the LMC for two days between Tuesday and Thursday, ideally on two consecutive days.
If you are interested in applying for this post, please send your completed application form to Kate Pilton, Chief Operating Officer, Lincolnshire LMC via email kate.pilton@nhs.net
Interviews will take place on Wednesday 12 January 2022.
Closing date 04.01.22
