General Practitioner (GP) Urgent Care – Face to Face
The Role
Urgent care is where your clinical judgement matters most. You will see the full spectrum of patients, from reassurance to escalation, from uncertainty to clarity, often within minutes. It is fast, varied, and genuinely impactful work.
It offers more flexibility, broader exposure and the support of a truly integrated urgent care system.
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.
Urgent Care is not fragmented – it is connected. You will be part of a system designed to support decision‑making, reduce unnecessary admissions, and ensure patients are seen in the right place, first time.
What You’ll Focus On
* Delivering high‑quality, face‑to‑face care – assess and manage patients across urgent care settings, including UTCs and home visits, seeing a wide range of acute and undifferentiated presentations.
* Making confident, timely decisions – prioritise clinical need, manage risk, and decide the most appropriate care pathway.
* Using your full clinical skillset – opportunities to work in CAS, providing telephone triage and clinical advice as part of a wider system.
* Working as part of something bigger – collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, NHS 111, ambulance services and acute trusts to ensure safe, joined‑up care for patients.
* Developing your clinical interests – opportunities to get involved in areas such as frailty, end‑of‑life care, paediatrics and complex acute presentations.
* Progressing your career – potential pathways into senior roles, including progression into Clinical Navigator positions providing system‑wide clinical oversight and leadership.
