At BUA Health, we are at the very beginning of a mission to redefine preventative healthcare in Ireland. We believe in proactive, patient-centric care that is both accessible and empowering. We are a digital-first offering, and launching initially with a dedicated service for medically supervised weight management for women.
Our approach is simple: combine a best-in-market digital experience with expert, empathetic clinical care. We are building more than just a prescribing service; we are creating a supportive ecosystem for our patients, with plans to evolve into holistic aftercare, progress tracking, and ongoing guidance. If you are excited by the prospect of joining a mission-driven company at the ground floor and helping to shape the future of digital health in Ireland, we would love to hear from you.
The Role
We are seeking a passionate and forward-thinking IMC registered Doctor to become a foundational member of our clinical team, supporting patients with weight loss therapies initially. This is a unique opportunity to do more than just consult; you will be a key voice in our service, helping to build trust and deliver outstanding care from day one.
You will work directly with patients, providing high-quality remote consultations and follow-ups, ensuring every individual feels heard, understood, and supported on their journey. This role is perfect for a doctor with a strong interest in metabolic health and weight management who is excited to work in an innovative, digital-first environment and actively contribute to patient education and engagement.
What You'll Be Doing
* Conducting remote consultations (asynchronously, via secure messaging and phone/video) for new and existing patients, providing evidence-based, personalised weight management care.
* Assessing patient suitability for treatment in line with the most current Irish clinical guidelines and prescribing protocols.
* Developing comprehensive and individualised treatment plans, including prescribing medication where clinically appropriate.
* Managing patient follow-ups to ensure continuity of care, monitor progress, and provide ongoing support.
* Acting as a clinical thought leader by contributing to our patient education resources, such as writing blog posts and helping to develop clear, accessible content.
* Maintaining detailed, high-quality medical records in compliance with Irish standards.
* Working collaboratively with the BUA Health founding team to refine clinical pathways and continuously improve the patient experience.
Who You Are
* A qualified medical practitioner with full, active registration on the General or Specialist Register of the Irish Medical Council (IMC) and medical indemnity insurance.
* A genuine interest in weight management, obesity medicine, or metabolic health.
* Confident and knowledgeable in prescribing treatments for weight management, including GLP-1 medications, according to Irish best practice.
* Passionate about delivering compassionate, patient-centred care.
* An excellent communicator, both written and verbal, who is comfortable and effective in a digital-first environment.
* Proactive and enthusiastic about the opportunity to help shape the clinical direction of a new and growing service.
* Able to commit to a flexible, part-time schedule (minimum commitment to be discussed).
* Highly organised, with excellent record-keeping skills.
What We Offer
* Competitive sessional rates.
* A fully remote and flexible working model that respects your work-life balance.
* The unique opportunity to join a mission-driven Irish company at its earliest stage and have a real impact.
* The chance to become a leading voice in digital health and preventative medicine in Ireland.
* A passionate, supportive, and welcoming team environment.
* A platform to not only practice medicine but also to educate and empower a wide patient audience.
