Job description

What is the role?

• To establish relationships and work closely with PCN managers, practice managers and digital transformation leads.
• To identify common pressures and issues which can be addressed by working at scale and/or digital solutions. These are likely to range from training to more complex challenges such as AI, automation and ‘back-office’ support (note this is not a technical role).
• To manage several projects which support member practices. These will range from the straightforward to complex but all will need agreed time frames and budgets.
• To ensure delivery of projects is maintained especially at times of pressure on general practice.
• To be the first point of contact for the delivery of projects and ensure effective communication throughout.
