GP Practice Specialist (UK only)

Save to Favorites

Could you help a health charity establish a GP Practice to provide NHS services in the UK? Africa Health Organisation (AHO) intends to enter into providing NHS services such as GP surgeries in the UK. This will provide us with experience and capacity to set up medical centres in Africa and other Diaspora countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, France and the EU.

Purpose

This role will enable AHO to provide NHS GP services and be part of the national health system. The impact is reducing the number of people waiting to join a GP surgery. This will also improve AHO's capacity to deliver health services in Africa and the UK. The GP services in the UK will prepare AHO to set up health care in Africa and contribute to saving lives on the continent.
