The Royal College of General Practitioners is the largest membership organisation solely for GPs in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1952, it has over 55,000 members who are committed to improving patient care, developing their own skills and promoting general practice as a discipline. General practice is the largest branch of the medicine and provides a majority of population’s contact with the health service.
We are now recruiting for a new Clinical Lead for Data and Digital to join our policy team, which is part of our Policy, Research and Campaigns department. In this role you will contribute to RCGP's influence of related areas of UK policy. The core aim is to advocate for improvements to the IT infrastructure within general practice and shape the use of data, digital tools and Artificial Intelligence to enhance relational care, reduce the burden on professionals and patients, and strengthen safe, evidence-driven care.
You will work closely with the Head of Policy, the Senior Policy Officer and the elected College Officer team to support the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based policy outputs, including consultation responses, policy reports and position statements. This will involve ensuring the views of RCGP members are considered by key stakeholders.
Other key responsibilities include providing expert advice on our research programmes to ensure they meet relevant informatics requirements and helping to develop and shape guidance and educational outputs on key data, digital and AI matters to strengthen the skills and knowledge of our membership.
This role will also provide clinical informatics expertise and advice to support the Officer and senior team, as well as working with the wider policy, public affairs and press teams on relevant queries.
If you are enthusiastic about general practice, with an in-depth knowledge of the issues facing primary care as well as the principles of evidence-based policy development then this may be the ideal role for you. The role will suit someone with strong stakeholder engagement skills, exceptional clinical informatics knowledge, the ability to work collaboratively across teams, and experience of working at a regional or national level.
