About Islington GP Federation

Islington GP Federation (IGPF) is a new, rapidly growing organisation representing 31 practices; we have established ourselves as a leader in new ways of working, including running Islington’s extended access primary care services (i:HUB) as well as supporting the Islington Primary Care Networks (PCNs). Our current range of services includes i:HUB, Community ENT, Integrated Community Gynaecology, practice-based pharmacists and a range of practice support mechanisms.

IGPF works very closely with a range of partners including the regional commissioning group, NHS England, Healthy London Partnership, Public Health, local hospitals such as the Whittington Health and the London Borough of Islington.

The PCN workforce is hosted by IGPF and over the last few years IGPF has been working with the Islington Training Hub, to create training and development programmes that meet the need of all staff working in primary care.

About South Islington PCN

The South Islington Primary Care Network (PCN) is a group of 7 independent GP practices in the South of Islington, covering a population of around 70,000 residents. The PCN is brought together by NHS England’s PCN DES contract to deliver against its specifications and other tasks. The PCN works with multiple stakeholders as part of the South Locality, a multi-agency group focused on identifying population health needs and identifying streams of work to support these. This is part of Islington’s ‘Fairer Together’ borough partnership.

The population within the PCN geography is diverse, often with significant and complex health and wellbeing needs. There is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to support the co-ordination of this care and working closely with people to support them to achieve improved health outcomes and a better quality of life.

As this is a new role and the guidance around PCNs is constantly changing, there is a need for the post holder to be flexible and adaptable in this evolving environment. As a consequence, the post will be subject to ongoing review and inevitable iteration, and will help inform how roles like these can be effectively used to support patient care.

Job Purpose

Job Role

The successful candidate will play a key role in proactively working with people, who would need support around MSK-related conditions and to provide coordination and navigation of care and support across health and care services.

They will work closely with GPs and practice teams, making sure that appropriate support is made available to people; supporting them to understand and manage their condition and ensuring their changing needs are addressed.
