Role purpose
IQVIA is exploring interest from experienced GPs to support large‑scale, pharmacist‑led clinical programmes delivered across primary care in the UK.
This role provides senior clinical oversight, complex decision‑making, and pathway leadership , enabling programmes to run end‑to‑end without creating additional workload for GP practices. It is not a traditional GP role , but a portfolio opportunity focused on system‑level impact.
About the role
As a GP Clinical Lead, you will work alongside advanced clinical pharmacists to support commissioned programmes across PCNs, ICBs, or partnership initiatives. Your contribution will focus on clinical governance, escalation support, and pathway interpretation , rather than delivering routine GP activity.
Typical activities may include:
Clinical oversight of pharmacist‑led reviews and interventions
Supporting complex, non‑standard or higher‑risk clinical decisions
Escalation guidance for diagnostically uncertain patients
Input into pathway design and application of national guidance
Occasional case‑review sessions (rather than full clinical lists)
Peer‑to‑peer education and clinical consultancy
Supporting change management and adoption of best practice
This role will not involve:
Taking on routine GP workload for individual practices
Delivering day‑to‑day pharmacist activity
Practice administration, partnership duties, or QOF management
Who we’re looking for
We’re keen to hear from GPs who are interested in clinical leadership at scale , and who value multidisciplinary working.
Core background
Currently practising, or recently practising, GP in the NHS
Strong understanding of day‑to‑day general practice pressures
Comfortable working across multiple practices or PCNs
Relevant clinical experience (one or more areas)
Respiratory care (asthma, COPD, diagnostics)
Cardiovascular disease prevention and management
Lipid management, hypertension, AF, heart failure, multimorbidity
Medicines optimisation and complex prescribing decisions
Commitment and flexibility
This opportunity may suit GPs seeking:
A portfolio career alongside clinical practice
Flexible commitments
Remote or hybrid working
Time‑limited programme involvement rather than a permanent roles
Time commitment will vary by programme and geography, but is structured rather than ad hoc.
