There are a number of exciting opportunities in primary healthcare in the State of Qatar. Up to 20 Qatar-based posts are available in key skill areas including programme management, contract management, HR, quality and accreditation. These roles will be for three years and involve a highly competitive tax-free package, housing allowances and further benefits.

The health sector has huge ambition and is seeing unprecedented levels of investment and innovation. The new PHCC strategy sets out recommendations that will transform care over the next five years. These include supporting people to stay at home rather than be admitted to hospital, a much greater focus on weight management and stopping smoking, the establishment of a patient helpline for people to access health advice over the phone, continuity through a clear plan and the same clinicians for people with ongoing diseases and a comprehensive programme of screening throughout people's lives in order to detect disease early.

Lord Ara Darzi, who has overseen development of the strategy in Qatar is a member of the country's national health council, said: "There is a real ambition and belief in the need to enhance Qatar's healthcare agenda. Primary Health Care Corporation is at the forefront of this programme of change. This is a truly exciting time to be involved in helping to make their ambitious vision a reality."
