Urgent Primary Care Doctor (Face to Face)
The Role
Urgent care is where your clinical judgement matters most.
Its where you see the full spectrum - from reassurance to escalation, from uncertainty to clarity - often within minutes. Its fast, varied, and genuinely impactful work.
At IC24, were looking for Urgent Primary Care Doctors (Face‑to‑Face) who want to use their skills differently - with more flexibility, broader exposure, and the support of a truly integrated urgent care system.
Urgent Care is one of the most exciting and evolving specialities in the UK. It involves the assessment and treatment of illness or injury requiring urgent medical attention, helping prevent life‑threatening deterioration. Care is delivered across NHS 111 Clinical Assessment Services, out‑of‑hours GP services, Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs), pharmacy pathways and coordinated system responses.
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.
At IC24, urgent care is not fragmented - its connected.
Youll be part of a system designed to support decision‑making, reduce unnecessary admissions, and ensure patients are seen in the right place, first time. We are a key NHS partner and a leading organisation in developing urgent care as a speciality for GPs, including our flagship Unscheduled Care Coordination Hubs (UCCH) in Norfolk and Essex.
What youll focus on
Delivering high‑quality, face‑to‑face care You’ll assess and manage patients across urgent care settings, including UTCs and home visiting, seeing a wide range of acute and undifferentiated presentations.
Making confident, timely decisions You’ll prioritise clinical need, manage risk, and decide the most appropriate care pathway - whether that’s treatment, referral, or escalation.
Using your full clinical skillset Alongside face‑to‑face care, you’ll have opportunities to work in CAS, providing telephone triage and clinical advice as part of a wider system.
Working as part of something bigger You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, NHS 111, ambulance services and acute trusts to ensure safe, joined‑up care for patients.
Developing your clinical interests There are opportunities to get involved in areas such as frailty, end‑of‑life care, paediatrics, and complex acute presentations.
Progressing your career For those interested, there are clear pathways into senior roles, including progression into Clinical Navigator positions providing system‑wide clinical oversight and leadership.
Flexibility that works for you
We recognise that flexibility matters.
This role offers structured face‑to‑face base working as part of the rota, alongside opportunities to take on additional shifts across CAS and UCCH environments. This allows you to balance in‑person clinical care with remote working, depending on your preferences and availability.
What matters in this role
Were not looking for one type of GP - but there are some things that matter.
Youre likely someone who:
Enjoys the pace and variety of urgent care
Is confident managing uncertainty and undifferentiated presentations
Makes clear, safe clinical decisions under pressure
Communicates effectively with patients and colleagues
Works well within multidisciplinary teams
Values flexibility, collaboration and continuous improvement
Most importantly, you want to make a difference where it counts - in the moments that matter most for patients.
