Medical Director – Hybrid Health, Medical Director – Digital Health
We are a rapidly scaling hybrid healthcare provider operating both an online telehealth platform and a network of three newly launched physical GP clinics. Our mission is to deliver accessible, high-quality medical care through both digital and in-person channels. Following recent structural growth, we are seeking an experienced Chief Medical Officer to assume enterprise-wide clinical leadership, governance, and strategic oversight across the full dual-channel model.
The Chief Medical Officer holds ultimate accountability for clinical safety, governance, and quality across the organisation. The CMO is the clinical peer of the Head of Health Operations, co-driving enterprise strategy while ensuring all medical activity — whether delivered digitally or in-person — meets the highest standards of patient safety, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence.
Clinical Standards Ownership: Establish, mandate, and continuously review clinical protocols, treatment pathways, and safety frameworks applicable to both telehealth and physical clinic environments.
Incident & Risk Management: Act as the responsible person for all serious clinical incidents, near misses, and patient safety events. Support root cause analysis and oversee implementation of remedial action plans with our Medical Director team.
Regulatory Compliance: Serve as the primary liaison with the Medical Council, HIQA, HSE, and all relevant healthcare regulatory bodies to guarantee full and current compliance across all service lines.
Medical Indemnity Oversight: Maintain awareness of indemnity obligations across the clinical workforce; escalate and manage high-risk legal or medico-legal exposures in conjunction with legal counsel.
Complaints Authority: Hold executive accountability for all formal medical complaints escalated by Medical Directors through either channel, ensuring responses meet required timelines.
Senior Clinical Escalation Point: Act as the ultimate escalation for clinical queries from the doctor cohort that cannot be resolved at Tier 1 or Tier 2 level — particularly complex, rare, or multi-system presentations.
Clinical Decision Support: Provide senior medical guidance on ambiguous or high-risk cases, balancing clinical best practice with the realities of remote or time-pressured consultation.
High-Risk Patient Oversight: Provide clinical input on complex, multi-morbid, or medically vulnerable patients flagged by the Medical Director team — including patients with mental health crises, chronic disease exacerbations, or safeguarding concerns.
Market & Regulatory Horizon Scanning: Stay abreast of evolving healthcare regulations, NICE/NCEC guidance, and market developments to proactively identify opportunities and risks for the service portfolio.
Strategic Co-Leadership: Act as clinical co-owner of the organisational strategy alongside the Head of Health Operations, ensuring commercial ambitions remain grounded in patient safety.
Person Specification Essential Qualifications: Primary medical degree (MB BCh BAO or equivalent). Full registration with the Irish Medical Council.
Clinical Experience: Minimum 10 years post-graduate clinical experience, with significant time in General Practice. Breadth across multi-morbidity and complex case management.
Leadership Experience: Demonstrable track record in a senior clinical leadership or medical management role, including direct line management of doctors.
Governance & Complaints: Hands-on experience managing clinical complaints, conducting or overseeing root cause analyses, and engaging with regulatory bodies.
Telehealth Familiarity & Advocacy: Practical experience of digital health delivery or strong demonstrable understanding of the clinical governance challenges specific to remote consultation.
