Main duties of the job
As a Clinical Lead (20%) in supporting the Operational Manager and Lead GP in operational delivery plus the development and transformation of new services as they are integrated into the Primary Care Networks. This includes reviewing Datix incidents and developing actions plans to prevent re-occurrence of incidents alongside policy review and development of clinical practice within the PCN
