Lead GP
SKILLS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Lead GP
[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk] is a GP group delivering primary care across South East London. We operate with strong clinical leadership and professional operational support to allow clinicians to focus on patient care and quality.
We are recruiting Lead GPs to combine hands-on clinical practice with responsibility for leading the GP team and supporting high-quality, consistent care at practice level.
This role offers more scope and influence than a traditional salaried GP post, without the financial or operational risk of partnership.
About the role
Lead GPs continue to work clinically while also acting as the senior clinical leader on site.
You will:
- Lead and line manage the GP team at your allocated practice
- Support newly qualified and transitioning GPs
- Provide clinical leadership and escalation support to all clinicians on site
- Act as the clinical safeguarding lead on site
- Be a senior clinical presence for in-person patient complaints
- Work alongside AHP Leads, who retain line management responsibility for their teams
A key part of the role is improving how clinical decisions affect demand and workload.
You will lead the team to:
- Reduce unnecessary GP-booked follow-ups
- Improve first-time resolution where clinically appropriate
- Reduce avoidable cancelled clinics caused by absence or poor planning
- Improve consistency in clinical decision-making and safety-netting
You are not responsible for appointment scheduling or operational rostering.
You are responsible for clinical standards, behaviours, and reliability.
