NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde is proud to be one of the UK’s largest healthcare systems. Right now, we’re embarking on one of Scotland’s most ambitious change programmes. Guided by our aim for Better Health, Better Care, Better Value, and a Better Workplace, we’re reimagining how urgent care is delivered for our communities. At the heart of this transformation is our newly established Interface Division. This exciting division has been created to drive bold innovation, strengthen integration between primary and secondary care, and put patients firmly at the centre of everything we do.

Over the next three years, the division will lead a series of ground-breaking developments.

These include our pioneering FNC+Plus care model, the launch of one of the UK’s largest Virtual Hospital with 1,000 virtual beds and clinics, the introduction of Electronic Triage at our hospital front doors, and the creation of Rapid Assessment & Care (RAaC) units to ensure patients receive timely and seamless support.

This is about more than improving services it’s about transforming the way care is experienced. By shifting the balance of care closer to home, enhancing patient pathways, and reducing delays, we will ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

The postholder will work within the FNC+plus as part of the Interface Division, supporting Virtual Pathways including Call Before You Convey,



NHS24 and developing alternatives to admissions and attendance at the Emergency Departments.

They will support the FNC+plus, Virtual Hospital and Whole System Escalation functions through the Interface Division and will act as the responsible consultant for patients under the care of the Interface Division as well as providing senior oversight to the various functions of the service.
