Medical Lead United Kingdom

Medical Lead - Remote

We're looking for a GP with a genuine interest in digital health and preventative medicine to join Phlo as our part time Medical Lead.

This is a newly created role providing expert generalist clinical input across two complementary areas: shaping the design and development of our digital health products, and providing clinical governance and medical oversight within our existing prescribing services. You'll be a strong generalist clinician, but more importantly, a collaborative, solutions-oriented one — someone who acts as a clinical co-creator, not a gatekeeper, and who's motivated to find the safest, most clinically robust version of an ambitious idea rather than defaulting to the most conservative one.

On a day-to-day basis, you'll be involved in the following:

• Reviewing and validating clinical content and product recommendations, ensuring accuracy, safety and evidence-alignment without sacrificing accessibility or user agency
• Shaping patient journey design across clinical areas, balancing clinical rigour with pragmatic, user-focused thinking
• Defining escalation thresholds and safety-netting pathways
• Pushing back where safety or evidence genuinely warrants it — always with a constructive alternative
• Acting as a named GP medical advisor supporting our clinical service, providing generalist medical oversight in a regulated prescribing environment
• Participating in regular MDT meetings with pharmacists and prescribers to review complex or escalated cases
• Supporting clinical incident review, significant event analysis (SEA) and root cause analysis
• Contributing to the development and review of clinical protocols, SOPs and prescribing policies
• Contributing to our clinical governance infrastructure, including adverse event processes and clinical audit
• Supporting clinical education within the team, including case-based learning and clinical updates

Ideally, we’re looking for someone with the following:

• Full GMC registration with a licence to practise; inclusion on the GP Register or the relevant Specialist Register
• Broad generalist clinical experience across common long-term conditions
• Experience of MDT working and clinical governance in a regulated setting
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented clinical style - rigorous on safety, resourceful in finding how ambitious ideas can be delivered safely
• Strong communication skills; comfortable engaging technical and non-clinical stakeholders with clarity and authority
• Experience managing obesity and related metabolic conditions in clinical practice.
• Interest or experience in preventative or lifestyle medicine (desirable)
• Prior involvement in digital health, healthtech or clinical product development (desirable)
• Comfort with health data, connected devices or regulated health environments (desirable)

And in joining Phlo, you’ll receive a competitive package designed to support your wellbeing, development and success, including:

• Salary of £50,000 pro rata (2 days per week)
• Opportunity to join a high-growth online pharmacy
• Regular collaboration with other teams in the business (product, engineering, design) to continually shape and enhance our services
• Company Bonus Scheme – up to 10% depending on performance
• 33 days annual leave (inclusive of 8 bank holidays)
• An extra day of annual leave for every complete year of service, up to 5 extra days
• An extra day off for your Birthday to prolong the celebrations
• Pension scheme – 5% employer contribution
• Private Medical Insurance via Vitality
• Bereavement Leave policy covering family, friends, pets, and miscarriage
• Enhanced Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Pay after 1 year of service
• Charity Day to support a cause that’s important to you
• Dependant Leave to take care of the people who rely on you
• Du…
