Medical Director

This is an outstanding opportunity for an

experienced and ambitious clinical leader to join FedBucks at a pivotal stage

in its development.

As Medical Director and a member of the

Executive Leadership Team, you will shape the future of primary, urgent and

community healthcare across Buckinghamshire, influencing care delivery for more

than 550,000 residents.

FedBucks has established itself as a trusted

system partner, delivering a broad range of urgent care, intermediate care and

primary care support services whilst championing innovation, integration and

service transformation. With significant opportunities to expand services,

support neighbourhood health development and influence emerging provider

models, this role offers the chance to combine executive leadership, clinical

excellence and system-wide impact.

Main duties of the job

You will provide visible and inspirational leadership to our multidisciplinary clinical workforce, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, openness, learning and high performance. Working closely with member practices, Primary Care Networks, the Integrated Care Board and wider health and care partners, you will help shape the future direction of local services and support the delivery of high-quality, safe and compassionate care.

The Medical Director will provide executive

clinical leadership across FedBucks' diverse portfolio of services, including

Out of Hours services, Urgent Treatment Centres, the Clinical Assessment

Service, the Virtual Care Hub, intermediate care services, community wellbeing

programmes and services supporting Primary Care Networks across

Buckinghamshire.

This is a unique opportunity to influence

healthcare delivery at scale while helping to create sustainable models of care

that improve population health, reduce health inequalities and strengthen

primary care for the future.
